DMON SOC support
ARM support
DMON v2 integrates the Segger J Link debug link and adds proof of concept support for a single ARM target - STM32L152VB. The Segger J Link supports a huge number of processors, see https://www.segger.com/jlink_supported_devices.html . DMON2 customers can request support for additional ARM devices.
The following command line options must be passed to DMON for this mode:
- -arm Start DMON in ARM mode and load ARM specific commands
- -segger Use Segger J-Link
- -device STM32L152VB specify the device for Segger
- -swd Use the Serial Wire Debug interface (SWD). If not specified then Segger will use JTAG to communicate with the target. The use of SWD is optional but recommended.
When DMON is started with the appropriate ARM switches information about the link discovered is displayed (as below).
The device configuration for the ARM target is read from an ARM CSMIS SVD file which describes the peripheral devices and their registers. In this version this SVD file is included as part of the built DMON and only this file is loaded and used. The output below shows device and peripheral information.

The SVD is used create objects for each peripheral device, to build a layout diagram for the SoC with the same functionality as for SPARC devices, and a widget with a drop down list of the registers for each peripheral.
There is also an object and widget for the CPU (see below).
On-chip IP blocks can be selected and their registers viewed and modified through the GUI.

AGGA-4 Support
AGGA-4 hardware
The AGGA-4 (Advanced GPS/GALILEO ASIC) is a radiation tolerant GNSS baseband ASIC capable of processing the modernized GPS and Galileo Signals. Due to its flexibility it is also able to process not only GPS and Galileo but also other GNSS systems like Glonass, Compass, etc. AGGA-4 also incorporates the processor, the communication interfaces and other support functions (e.g. FFT, CRC) inside the ASIC which simplifies the GNSS receiver board design.
The functional blocks are shown in the diagram below.
The GNSS Core (shown below) consists of 4 Input Modules (IM), one Power Level Detector (PLD) Module, two Beam Forming (DBF) Modules, a Time Base Generator (TBG), an Antenna Switch Controller (ASC) and 36 channels.
DMON supports the functional blocks on the AGGA-4 and the specific features below:
- System Visualisation
- Devices present and their state
- Register details/modify
- GNSS
- Configuration Blocks Display and Modify
- Interrupt Configuration
- Power Level
- Channel Configurations
- Overall display
- Set, Copy, Modify, Save and Load
- Dump observables to file
- FFT
- CRC
See below some example screenshots from the tool.
Main AGGA4 console
GNSS on AGGA4 has a lot of Configuration Registers. DMON identifies GNSS as AGGA4_GNSS_FE/CHS dummy device and logically AGGA4_GNSS_FR_END device (IM0, IM1, IM2, IM3 and PLD) and AGGA4_GNSS_CHS device (Channel Matrix, IC, Channels).

FFT commands
Creating FFT Task through the gui, start by clicking on the menu Tasks>>Configure Tasks.
Find FFT and click create task.
If you don’t enter an output file, then an output file will be generated in the input file directory with the same filename but suffixed with .csv.
The output type can be changed to have all (which includes the hex and float values) or just hex or float. All is set by default.
When the job is running, it will be located in the overview window, when it is done, it will be moved to the history tab. You will be able to see the time it took for the task to run as well as the result. You can click on the log icon to open the log window or alternatively clicking on the x icon deletes the task from history.
Here is the results from the FFT task, as you can see a csv suffix was added to the output file. As well as the results being displayed in the Inphase and Quad phase Panels you will also notice log information for this task.
You can also view the fft information via a line or bar graph by issuing the fft display command.

The table below shows GR716 REX commands:
| Command | Description |
|---|---|
| rex [en|ill|tr]<cpuID> | Sets the REX mode(enable|illegal|transparent) for active cpu or cpuID if provided |
| coderex [addr]<length> <force> | Disassemble REX instructions in memory. DMON will detect if address is in REX block and disassemble as REX. Force switch will bypass detection and disassemble as REX instruction |
| breakrexs [addr]<cpuID> | Force to set REX Software break point. breaks command will scan if address is in REX block and set REX software break point |
DMA Controller
The GR716 microcontroller have 4 separate DMA controller with internal AHB/APB bridge units (GRDMAC). The GRDMAC units described in this section provides a flexible direct memory access controller. The core can perform burst transfers of data between AHB and APB peripherals at aligned or unaligned memory addresses.
One DMA channel per DMA controller is supported. The channel can be configured flexibly by means of two descriptor chains residing in main memory: a Memory to Buffer (M2B) chain and a Buffer to Memory (B2M) chain. Each chain is composed of a linked list of descriptors, where each descriptor specifies an AHB address and the size of the data to read/write, supporting a scatter/gather behavior.
DMON provides a number of specific tabs to allow the user to configure the GRDMAC registers, test DMA transfers, and load/save such test configurations. It is assumed that the user is familiar with the GRDMAC hardware.

IO Switch Matrix
The I/O switch matrix provides access to several I/O units. When an interface is not activated, its pins automatically become general purpose I/O. After reset, all I/O switch matrix pins are defined as inputs until programmed otherwise.
Configuration and assigning of functions to external I/O is flexible and is controlled by software via a set of registers.
DMON loads in configuration file iomx.config which located in DMON installation directory C:\Program Files (x86)\DMON\Local
User can modify all those configurations or create new custom that will be loaded when DMON starts.
Then, configuration can be applied using "iomx set name" command when DMON started or "-iomx set name" switch command at DMON initialization.
User can autocomplete configuration names using tab after "iomx set" or display all configurations starting with some combination of letters.
| Command | Description |
|---|---|
| iomx set [configName configName ...] | Set IOMX configurations for Device or Array of Devices |
| -iomx set [configName configName ...] | Switch to set IOMX configurations for Device or Array of Devices, when DMON starts |

Memory Protection
The GR716 microcontroller has 2 separate AMBA memory protection units (MEMPROT). The MEMPROT units have the capability to detect and protect memory areas from write accesses. The first memory protection unit (MEMPROT0) is connected to Main AHB bus and the second memory protection unit (MEMPROT1) is connected to the DMA AMBA bus. Each memory protection unit has a unique address for configuration and status. The control and status registers for the memory protection units are located on APB bus in the address range 0x80005000 to 0x80005FFF 0x8010A000 to 0x8010AFFF.
DMON provides the commands below to configure memory protection.
| Command | Description |
|---|---|
| mprot reg | Show GRMEMPRO registers |
| mprot set [n][saddr][eaddr][none|all|g0-g15..] | Protect area [seg num][s address][e address][none|all or array of g0-g15] |

Clock Gating options
The GR716 microcontroller have 2 separate clock gating units. Each clock gating unit will control its own clock domains and have a unique AMBA address.
The clock gating units provide a means to save power by disabling the clock to unused functional blocks. These cores provide a mechanism to automatically disable the clock to LEON processors in power-down mode, and optionally also to disable the clock for shared floating-point units. The cores also provide a mechanism to reset, enable clock and disable clocks for most functional blocks.
| Command | Description |
|---|---|
| grcg [enable|disable][all|bit..bitN] | Enable|Disable all, single bit or array of bits for GRCLKGATE_0 |

- Prom Builder is creating make file, which can be examined and used on its own through DMON "buildprom" command or called directly from CLI with make utility
- Prom Builder is calling DMON flash commands after prom file was created to erase flash, check if blank, load prom file to target flash and start program on the board
DMON provides two prom configuration files for E698PM. They located in DMON install directory at DMON\Files\PROM_PM_CONFIG initially and copied to DMON user folder C:\Users\UserName\DMON\PromConfig when Prom Builder is started for the first time. 698PM_RAM_PROM.properties file has configurations that can be used to produce prom file to use RAM only as it does not initialize DDR2 RAM. 698PM_DDR_PROM.properties file has configurations to produce prom file to use DDR2 RAM on E698PM. Sample bdinit.c file is located in DMON\Files\PROM_PM_CONFIG directory. This file has to be compiled and put in the same directory where make file will be stored. bdinit.c can be copied from bdinit.c too.
Please follow the tutorials below. The sample program for E698PM used in tutorials can be found here.
DMON Prom Builder can be called from DMON menu => Tasks => Prom Builder.
