Copyright © 2006 Intel Corporation, released under EPL version /20068 Target connection adapters would allow to supply a standardized method to connect Eclipse based host applications to target systems. Break the hard-wired link between host application and access to target system Enabling interoperability between components and allow connecting and stacking of components

Copyright © 2006 Intel Corporation, released under EPL version /20069 Basic Considerations – target API Cover a basic set of functions –connection control (set-up, versioning, extension check, HW detection, …) –process control –run-control (reset, step, stop, run, code/data BPs) –r/w registers, memory –down/up-load –generic query/modify interface (OS elements like semaphores, queues, events, …) –generic control interface (memory map&config, trace, performance monitoring, …) –remote actions (execute cmd, console mode, …) Support custom extensions allowing commercial products to supply added-value –complex HW assisted breakpoints –OS aware breakpoints –complex trace support –performance monitoring –FLASH programming –…

Copyright © 2006 Intel Corporation, released under EPL version / Moving Forward Create a workgroup to define APIs including extension scheme –API for host SW to talk to target system via a TCA  TCA target API –Select and configure a specific TCA within Eclipse (Target Management view)  TCA manage API Phase 1 –Collect API requirements –Define API and extension mechanism Phase 2 –Make a reference implementation
