ARM (Debugging with ROCGDB)

#### 22.3.2 ARM

ROCGDB provides the following ARM-specific commands:

`set arm disassembler`

  This commands selects from a list of disassembly styles. The `"std"` style is the standard style.

`show arm disassembler`

  Show the current disassembly style.

`set arm apcs32`

  This command toggles ARM operation mode between 32-bit and 26-bit.

`show arm apcs32`

  Display the current usage of the ARM 32-bit mode.

`set arm fpu fputype`

  This command sets the ARM floating-point unit (FPU) type. The argument fputype can be one of these:

  `auto`

    Determine the FPU type by querying the OS ABI.

  `softfpa`

    Software FPU, with mixed-endian doubles on little-endian ARM processors.

  `fpa`

    GCC-compiled FPA co-processor.

  `softvfp`

    Software FPU with pure-endian doubles.

  `vfp`

    VFP co-processor.

`show arm fpu`

  Show the current type of the FPU.

`set arm abi`

  This command forces ROCGDB to use the specified ABI.

`show arm abi`

  Show the currently used ABI.

`set arm fallback-mode (arm|thumb|auto)`

  ROCGDB uses the symbol table, when available, to determine whether instructions are ARM or Thumb. This command controls ROCGDB’s default behavior when the symbol table is not available. The default is ‘`auto`’, which causes ROCGDB to use the current execution mode (from the `T` bit in the `CPSR` register).

`show arm fallback-mode`

  Show the current fallback instruction mode.

`set arm force-mode (arm|thumb|auto)`

  This command overrides use of the symbol table to determine whether instructions are ARM or Thumb. The default is ‘`auto`’, which causes ROCGDB to use the symbol table and then the setting of ‘`set arm fallback-mode`’.

`show arm force-mode`

  Show the current forced instruction mode.

`set debug arm`

  Toggle whether to display ARM-specific debugging messages from the ARM target support subsystem.

`show debug arm`

  Show whether ARM-specific debugging messages are enabled.

`target sim [simargs] …`

  The ROCGDB ARM simulator accepts the following optional arguments.

  `--swi-support=type`

    Tell the simulator which SWI interfaces to support. The argument type may be a comma separated list of the following values. The default value is `all`.

    `none`
    `demon`
    `angel`
    `redboot`
    `all`
