Paul Mackerras 4bef477e29 core_debug: Add support for detecting writes to a memory address This adds a new type of stop trigger for the log buffer which triggers when any byte(s) of a specified doubleword of memory are written. The trigger logic snoops the wishbone for writes to the address specified and stops the log 256 cycles later (same as for the instruction fetch address trigger). The trigger address is a real address and sees DMA writes from devices as well as stores done by the CPU. The mw_debug command has a new 'mtrig' subcommand to set the trigger and query its state.

README

mw_debug is the microwatt debugger.

It can talk to the simulator using a socket.

On an Arty board it uses the FTDI device via liburjtag.

## Building on Fedora

```
dnf install urjtag-devel
make
```

If you commonly use it against one target, create an alias as follows:
```
alias mw="$HOME/microwatt/scripts/mw_debug/mw_debug -b jtag"
$ mw gpr 0 10
Connected to libftdi driver.

```

## Building on Debian

Debian disables the library in the urjtag package. Instead, build against
local urjtag:

```
sudo apt install libftdi-dev
git clone https://git.code.sf.net/p/urjtag/git urjtag
cd urjtag/urjtag
./autogen.sh
make
```

And then uncomment the following line in Makefile to build against that copy

```
CFLAGS +=  -I urjtag/urjtag/include/ -L urjtag/urjtag/src/.libs/
```

To run:
```
alias mw="LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$HOME/microwatt/scripts/mw_debug/urjtag/urjtag/src/.libs/ $HOME/microwatt/scripts/mw_debug/mw_debug -b jtag"
$ mw
