Using the TriCore Inspector in the TASKING TriCore Eclipse Environment

The TASKING TriCore Inspector is a product that allows you to verify whether the compilation of your code is affected by known issues in various components of the TASKING VX-toolset for TriCore, as presented on the TASKING Issue Portal. Essentially, the Inspector is a copy of the existing TriCore toolset that does not produce any executable code. Instead, it generates diagnostic messages.

Steps

To use the TriCore Inspector within the TASKING TriCore Eclipse Environment, follow the steps below:

1. Navigate to the TriCore_PRODDIR. For example, C:\Program Files (x86)\TASKING\TriCore v6.2r2\ctc\bin

• cctc.exe to cctc_orig.exe
• ctc.exe to ctc_orig.exe
• astc.exe to astc_orig.exe
• cptc.exe to cptc_orig.exe
• ltc.exe to ltc_orig.exe

3. Navigate to the Inspector_PRODDIR. For example, C:\Program Files (x86)\TASKING\TriCore_v6.2r2_Inspector v1.0r1\ctc\bin

4. Copy the following files and paste them into the TriCore_PRODDIR.

• insp_cctc.exe
• insp_ctc.exe
• insp_astc.exe
  
• insp_cptc.exe
• insp_ltc.exe

5. Download the select batch file into the TriCore_PRODDIR and remove the .txt extension from the file name select.bat.txt. If necessary, modify the path entries used in the batch file to match your installation directory.

6. Open a Command Prompt with administrator rights and change the directory to the TriCore_PRODDIR.

For example: 

cd "C:\Program Files (x86)\TASKING\TriCore v6.2r2\ctc\bin"

7. Invoke the batch file by executing one of the following commands.

To activate the TriCore executables:

select insp2ctc 

To activate the Inspector executables:

select ctc2insp 

8. Launch the Eclipse IDE for the TASKING TriCore VX-toolset and rebuild your application. The diagnostic messages appear in the Console view when using the Inspector executables.
