Can I step the assembly code in IDE?

[Altera_Forum]

I only know how to step the source code when debugging using IDE. Can I step the assembly code in IDE like GDB(insight)? 

 I know how to use GDB+insight to debug application of Altera NiosII project. Can I use GDB+insight to debug linux application? If yes, how to do that?  Thanks!!

Yes you can step through the assembly code. There is a button to switch the view over to the assembled code. I'd point you to the button but I don't have the software installed on this computer. You can also see the memory contents, registers, etc....

hello upstairs, 

 Button ? what Button. I found that some assembled code that can't debug.

Ok, then coming soon. 

 In the version of the IDE I have (which has the button I refer to), assembly debug is possible.

the button you're looking for is available when in the debug perspective. It is located in the right-most set of buttons on the debug control toolbar in the Debug window (where the resume/terminate/step buttons are). It's the 4th icon from the right, next to the 'show gdb console' icon. This should be available in all versions of the IDE.

..forgot to add - it's labelled 'Disassembly on/off'.

Hi all, 

  Can you step into these functions like:IORD_8DIRECT(),IOWR_8DIRECT() and so on?  thank u.

[Altera_Forum]

IORD and IOWR are macros (the IORD_xDIRECT family are all macros too). 

 So you can't step into them because they appear inline (and normally compile up into exactly one instruction each in optimised code.
