Memory Read
Syntax
mrd [options] <address> [num]Read <num> data values from the active target's memory address specified by <address>.
Options
| Option | Description |
|---|---|
-force
|
Overwrite access protection. By default accesses to reserved and invalid address ranges are blocked. |
-size <access-size>
|
<access-size> can be one of the values below: b = Bytes accesses h = Half-word accesses w = Word accesses d = Double-word accesses Default access size is w Address will be aligned to access-size before reading memory, if '-unaligned-access' option is not used. For targets which do not support double-word access, debugger uses 2 word accesses. If number of data values to be read is more than 1, then debugger selects appropriate access size. For example, 1. mrd -size b 0x0 4 Debugger accesses one word from the memory, displays 4 bytes. 2. mrd -size b 0x0 3 Debugger accesses one half-word and one byte from the memory, displays 3 bytes. 3. mrd 0x0 3 Debugger accesses 3 words from the memory and displays 3 words. |
-value
|
Return a Tcl list of values, instead of displaying the result on console. |
-bin
|
Return data read from the target in binary format. |
-file <file-name>
|
Write binary data read from the target to <file-name>. |
-address-space <name>
|
Access specified memory space instead default memory space of current target. For ARM DAP targets, address spaces DPR, APR and AP<n> can be used to access DP Registers, AP Registers and MEM-AP addresses, respectively. For backwards compatibility -arm-dap and -arm-ap options can be used as shorthand for "-address-space APR" and "-address-space AP<n>", respectively. The APR address range is 0x0 - 0xfffc, where the higher 8 bits select an AP and lower 8 bits are the register address for that AP. |
-unaligned-access
|
Memory address is not aligned to access size, before performing a read operation. Support for unaligned accesses is target architecture dependent. If this option is not specified, addresses are automatically aligned to access size. |
Note
Select an APU target to access ARM DAP and MEM-AP address space.Returns
Memory addresses and data in requested format, if successful. Error string, if the target memory cannot be read.
Example(s)
mrd 0x0Read a word at 0x0.
mrd 0x0 10Read 10 words at 0x0.
mrd -value 0x0 10Read 10 words at 0x0 and return a Tcl list of values.
mrd -size b 0x1 3Read 3 bytes at address 0x1.
mrd -size h 0x2 2Read 2 half-words at address 0x2.
mrd -bin -file mem.bin 0 100Read 100 words at address 0x0 and write the binary data to mem.bin.
mrd -address-space APR 0x100Read APB-AP CSW on Zynq. The higher 8 bits (0x1) select the APB-AP and lower 8 bits (0x0) is the address of CSW.
mrd -address-space APR 0x04Read AHB-AP TAR on Zynq. The higher 8 bits (0x0) select the AHB-AP and lower 8 bits (0x4) is the address of TAR.
mrd -address-space AP1 0x80090088Read address 0x80090088 on DAP APB-AP. 0x80090088 corresponds to DBGDSCR register of Cortex-A9#0, on Zynq AP 1 selects the APB-AP.
mrd -address-space AP0 0xe000d000Read address 0xe000d000 on DAP AHB-AP. 0xe000d000 corresponds to QSPI device on Zynq AP 0 selects the AHB-AP.
