Renesas produces several entirely different=20 families of microprocessors (the company was created by a=20 merger of Hitachi's and Mitsubushi's microprocessor=20 operations), and none of them look to be at all compatible=20 with the x86 and PowerPC architectures that Valgrind currently supports. Of the Renesas architectures that Wikipedia lists,=20 the most promising seems to be M32R, since that runs a Linux; the SuperH don't seem to have a UNIX-style OS, and the others are 8-bit ot 16-bit, which is probably too small for Valgrind.=20 Supporting a new platform on Valgrind is much more work than=20 just rebuilding it; Valgrind needs to know a great deal about the instruction set. registers, and so on. Valgrind's web=20 page about platforms is here: http://www.valgrind.org/info/platforms.html And I'd read that as pretty much "no, M32R doesn't look like=20 an attractive target". --=20 John Dallman, Parasolid Porting Engineer, +44-1223-371554 =20 > -----Original Message----- > From: val...@li...=20 > [mailto:val...@li...] On=20 > Behalf Of Deepen Mantri > Sent: Thursday, May 03, 2007 6:26 AM > To: val...@li.... > Subject: [Valgrind-users] How to add support for other=20 > processors inValgrind? >=20 >=20 > Hi, > I want Valgrind to debug executables generated for renesas=20 > microcontrollers?
