I want to used hardware trace infomation to find out the"mialigned access " fault in the source code.
But the hardware trace record was't show on the terminal ttyS0 on the host,when my program is error exit.
thus the document mentions that:
"One feature of the Blackfin that comes in handy is the hardware trace buffer. The cpu automatically tracks the last 16 code flow changes in this buffer. When an application crashes and the kernel catches it, the hardware buffer will automatically be displayed. "
I want to know how to configure the bf537 and kernel that can display the hardware trace buffer and using it .
what is the hardware trace buffer infomation related to?
Are there other ways to debug the error "misaligned access"?
the kernel version is bf537_2005R3
the bfin-uclinux-g++ version is 3.4.4
and complie options is -g -elf2flt -O3
