display

Lists the contents of a register or memory location; lists all register sets of a target; adds register sets, registers, or memory locations; or removes register sets, registers, or memory locations.

Syntax

display <addr-spec> [<range>] [-s|-ns] [%<conv>] [-np]

display -ms

display <reg-spec>{..<reg>|#<n>} [-{d|nr|nv|np} ...] [-s|-ns] [%<conv>]

display all|r:|nr: [-{d|nr|nv|np} ...] [-s|-ns] [%<conv>]

display [-]regset

display <var-spec> [-np] [-s|-ns] [%<conv>]

display v: [-np] [-s|-ns] [%<conv>]

Options

The following table lists and defines parameters of the display command.

Table 1. display Command-line debugger command - Options
Command Description
<ms> On architectures supporting multiple memory spaces, specifies the memory space in which <addr> is to be found. See help for the option -ms of display or mem for more information on memory spaces. If unspecified, the setting "config MemIdentifier" is used.
<addr> Target address in hex format.
<count> Number of memory cells.
x<cell-size> Memory is displayed in units called cells, where each cell consists of <cell-size> bytes. If unspecified, the setting "config MemWidth" is used.
h<access-size> Memory is accessed with a hardware access size of <access-size> bytes. If unspecified, the setting "config MemAccess" is used.
{8,16,32,64}bit Sets both <cell-size> and <access-size>.
-np Don't print anything to the display, only return the data.
-ms On architectures supporting multiple memory spaces, displays the list of available memory spaces including a mnemonic and/or an integer index which may be used when specifying a target address.
<a1>{..<a2>|#<n>} Specifies a range of memory either by two endpoints, <a1> and <a2>, or by a startpoint and a byte count, <a1> and <n>. This alternate syntax is provided mainly for backwards compatibility. The new form of <addr> and <count> should be easier to use and thus preferred.
{r|nr} If multiple registers are specified, then the prefix r: causes a recursive, depth-first traversal of the register hierarchy. The prefix nr: prevents recursion. If unspecified, recursion is the default. Note that different levels of the register hierarchy are represented in the manner of a path with forward-slashes '/' used to delimit the register groups. A name that contains a slash itself can be represented with an escape backward-slash '\' followed by the forward-slash. Further note that a backslash in a doubly-quoted Tcl string is itself an escape character -- in this case two backslashes are required. Alternatively, you may use curly braces '{' and '}' to denote your string in which case just one backslash is necessary.
<reg> A register name or a register group name.
..<reg> The end point for a range of registers to access.
<n> Number of registers.
all Specifies all registers.
-d Print detailed data book information.
-nr Print only register groups, that is no registers.
-nv Print only register groups and register names, that is no values.
-np Don't print anything to the display, only return the data.
regset Display the register group hierarchy.
v: If this option appears with no <var> following it, then all variables pertinent to the current scope are printed.
<var> Symbolic name of the variable to print. Can be a C expression as well.
-s|-ns Specifies whether each value is to be swapped. For memory, specifies whether each cell is to be swapped. With a setting of -ns, target memory is written in order from lowest to highest byte address. Otherwise, each cell is endian swapped. If unspecified, the setting "config MemSwap" is used.
%<conv> Specifies the type of the data. Possible values for <conv> are given below. The default conversion is set by the radix command for memory and registers and by the config var command for variables.
%x Hexadecimal.
%d Signed decimal.
%u Unsigned decimal.
%f Floating point.
%[Q<n>]F Fixed or Fractional. The range of a fixed point value depends on the (fixed) location of the decimal point. The default location is set by the config command option "MemFixedIntBits".
%s ASCII.

The following table lists and defines examples of the display command.

Table 2. display Command-line debugger command - Examples
Command Description
display 10000 Displays memory range 0x10000-3 as one cell.
display 1:10000 Displays memory range 0x10000-3, memory space 1, as one cell.
display 10000 16 Displays memory range 0x10000-3f as 16 cells.
display 10000 16x1h8 Displays 16, 1-byte cells, with a hardware access size of 8-bytes per read.
display 10000 8bit Displays one byte, with a hardware access size of one byte.
display 10000 -np Returns one cell, but don't print it to the Command Window.
display 10000 -s Displays one cell with the data endian-swapped.
display 10000 %d Displays one cell in decimal format.
display -ms Displays the available memory spaces, if any.
display -regset Lists all the available register sets on the target chip.
display R1 Displays the value of register R1.
display "General Purpose Registers/R1" Displays the value of register R1 in the General Purpose Register group.
display R1 -d Displays detailed "data book" contents of R1, including bitfields and definitions.
display "nr:General Purpose Registers/R1" 25 Beginning with register R1, display the next 25 registers. Register groups are not recursively searched.
display myVar -s %d Displays the endian-swapped contents of variable myVar in decimal.
