Trace32 API Config

like i posted in my previous blog , we need to have the application up and running . i will detail out the ways of configuring now . once you install the trace on your machine you will notice a c:/t32 folder listed ( if you choose to install it else where , find the t32 folder on your machine) . when you launch the trace32marm.exe it generally picks up the configuration from config file (categorized as t32 file ) . open the file ( any ide is fine or even a notepad ) and enter the below value .

RCL=NETASSIST

PACKLEN=1024

PORT=xxxx

you can choose to provide any port number available on your computer . this runs a udp port on your computer , you can check the list of open ports to see if it did pick the correct configuration.

this will be the port number that you will have to use to open a port from scripting language. this will open up the trace32 for subsequent actions

Python - lauterbach

it is interesting to notice that with lauterbach you dont get a wrapper for scripting languages.

i am not saying that they will have to :) , but i would assume from a testing standpoint it will be great to have a scripting language interface to the same.

Lauterbach - trace32 is a really powerful tool . i am going to start using python scrpiting language with latuerbach. fortunately they provide a trace32 api that i can use.

we will have to see how things go by :) . atleast the idea for now when i am writing this blog is , you dont have python wrapper for lauterbach and i am trying to findout what we can do about it.
