|
|
<p>When <small>GDB</small> is debugging the Cell Broadband Engine SPU architecture,
|
|
it provides the following special commands:
|
|
</p>
|
|
<dl compact="compact">
|
|
<dt><code>info spu event</code></dt>
|
|
<dd><a name="index-info-spu"></a>

|
and pending event status.
|

</p>
|
|
</dd>
|
|
<dt><code>info spu signal</code></dt>
|
|
<dd><p>Display SPU signal notification facility status. Shows pending
|
|
signal-control word and signal notification mode of both signal
|
|
notification channels.

<dd><p>Display SPU mailbox facility status. Shows all pending entries,
|
|
in order of processing, in each of the SPU Write Outbound,
|
|
SPU Write Outbound Interrupt, and SPU Read Inbound mailboxes.
|
|
</p>
|
|
</dd>
|
|
<dt><code>info spu dma</code></dt>
|
|
<dd><p>Display MFC DMA status. Shows all pending commands in the MFC
|
|
DMA queue. For each entry, opcode, tag, class IDs, effective

|
and local store addresses and transfer size are shown.

|

</dd>
|

<dt><code>info spu proxydma</code></dt>

|
|
|
|
<p>When <small>GDB</small> is debugging a combined PowerPC/SPU application
|
|
on the Cell Broadband Engine, it provides in addition the following
|
|
special commands:
|
|
</p>
|
|
<dl compact="compact">
|
|
<dt><code>set spu stop-on-load <var>arg</var></code></dt>
|
|
<dd><a name="index-set-spu"></a>
|
|
<p>Set whether to stop for new SPE threads. When set to <code>on</code>, <small>GDB</small>
|
|
will give control to the user when a new SPE thread enters its <code>main</code>
|
|
function. The default is <code>off</code>.
|
|
</p>
|
|
</dd>
|
|
<dt><code>show spu stop-on-load</code></dt>
|
|
<dd><a name="index-show-spu"></a>
|
|
<p>Show whether to stop for new SPE threads.
|
|
</p>
|
|
</dd>
|
|
<dt><code>set spu auto-flush-cache <var>arg</var></code></dt>
|
|
<dd><p>Set whether to automatically flush the software-managed cache. When set to
|
|
<code>on</code>, <small>GDB</small> will automatically cause the SPE software-managed
|
|
cache to be flushed whenever SPE execution stops. This provides a consistent
|
|
view of PowerPC memory that is accessed via the cache. If an application
|
|
does not use the software-managed cache, this option has no effect.
|
|
</p>
|
|
</dd>
|
|
<dt><code>show spu auto-flush-cache</code></dt>
|
