In a Kernel Awareness debug session, the core index is displayed under these scenarios:
- Multiple homogeneous cores, each running a single core Operating System (OS)
- Multicore OS
The System Browser view displays content for the a ctive debug context. For Kernel Awareness, the label of the process object, as shown in the Debug view, is displayed at the top of the System Browser view's client area. This label contains the index of the core the OS is running on, and is referred to as the context label .
For example, if the user is performing Kernel Awareness on a P4080 target, and the user is looking at Linux running on the 5th e500 core, then the top of the System Browser client area shows a label that contains core 4.
In a multicore OS scenario, the system browser shows kernel threads for all cores being managed by the OS. The System Browser view that displays kernel threads indicates the core index for each thread.
The following figure shows the core index information for kernel threads in a multicore environment.
