Launching

Launch isd_​shell from the Intel(R) System Debugger installation folder.

Then, you can use the intel_​sysdbg entry point to launch the program.

$ intel_sysdbg --help

For example, launch an Intel(R) System Debug instance and connect the Intel(R) System Debug CLI to it automatically by running the following command:

$ intel_sysdbg --launch_and_connect

If a TCA profile is available in the workspace, it will be used by default.

Alternatively, launch isd_​cli. The Intel(R) System Debug CLI module is imported as “sysdbg”. For example, the previous command can be executed as follows:

>>> sysdbg.launch_and_connect()

Scripting Mode

Launch or source isd_​env from the Intel(R) System Debugger installation folder and import the package in a Python* console. For example, connect the Intel(R) System Debug CLI to an Intel(R) System Debug instance running on local port 1534 with the following commands:

>>> import intel.sysdbg
>>> session = intel.sysdbg.connect(host="localhost", port="1534")
>>> session.status()
>>> session.halt()

In order to launch an Intel(R) System Debug instance and connect the Intel(R) System Debug CLI to it automatically, run the following commands:

>>> import intel.sysdbg
>>> session = intel.sysdbg.launch_and_connect()
>>> session.status()
>>> session.halt()

Connection Handling

Connection handling is completely managed by Target Connection Assistant (TCA). The most recently used TCA profile is stored in the workspace and automatically loaded on launch. To change the TCA profile, use the following commands:

>>> from intel import tcacli as tca
>>> tca.select_profile()
