2.15.1 Configure the coverage measurement

To use the coverage facility, it is necessary to make coverage measurement-related settings in advance.

Make settings in the [Coverage] [Simulator] category, or in the [Coverage] [E20 [RX71M, RX65x, and RX64M Groups]] category on the [Debug Tool Settings] tab on the Property panel.

(1)

[Use coverage function]

Specify by a drop-down list whether or not you want to use the coverage function.

To use the coverage function, select [Yes]. (By default, [No] is selected.)

(2)

[Reuse result]

This property is displayed only when [Use coverage function] property is set to [Yes].

Specify from the drop-down list whether to automatically save the acquired code coverage measurement result when disconnecting from the debug tool and reproduce it next time you connect to the debug tool.
To reproduce the contents of the last obtained code coverage measurement results, select [Yes]. (By default, [No] is selected.)

(3)

[Use code coverage function]

Specify from the drop-down list whether or not you want to use the code coverage function.

To use the code coverage function, select [Yes]. (By default, [No] is selected.)

This function can be selected only while CS+ is disconnected from the debug tool.

(4)

[Coverage measurement priority]

This property is displayed only when [Yes] is specified in the [Use code coverage function] property.

Select the mode for measuring coverage from the drop-down list.

The following coverage measurement priorities are displayed in the drop-down list.

- CPU execution, Coverage measurement

 

When [CPU execution] is selected, the coverage data may be lost during data output.

When [Coverage measurement] is selected, CPU execution may stop to output coverage data, affecting real-time performance of program execution.

(5)

[Coverage area of measurement]

This property is displayed only when [Yes] is specified in the [Use code coverage function] property.

Specify the ranges where you want to measure coverage.

Up to four ranges can be specified in 4-Mbyte units for coverage measurement.

Specify a multiple of 4 Mbytes as the start address (if the specified value is not a multiple of 4 Mbytes, the value is automatically corrected)

(6)

[Reuse coverage result]

This property is displayed only when [Yes] is specified in the [Use code coverage function] property.

Specify from the drop-down list whether to automatically save the acquired code coverage measurement result when disconnecting from the debug tool and reproduce it next time you connect to the debug tool.
