Is it possible to run an external program from within TRACE32 PowerView?

  • Last updated: Feb 28, 2024 by Lauterbach

Depending on what you actually want to do, one of the following commands should be suitable to run any external program or batch file:

  • OS.Area < cmdline > : Output in AREA window (blocking)
  • OS.Window < cmdline > : Output in "OS.Window" window (blocking) inside PowerView
  • OS.screen < cmdline > : On Windows, the command gets directly executed without a shell. The output of a console application is shown in a temporary command window. On Linux, the output is in the shell, which started the TRACE32 GUI (non-blocking)
  • OS.Hidden < cmdline > : No output anywhere (blocking)
  • OS.Command < cmdline > : Output in system shell, which allows redirects (non-blocking on Windows / blocking on Linux unless you add an ampersand &)

Please refer to the PowerView Function Reference for more information.

I have tried the non blocking os.screen and command to run a python script which captures trace32 window and saves it in wordfile. but in the screenshot i am not able to see the breakpoint set on a function. in the script i am opening the breakpoint list window. here is my code BREAK.List WAIT 1.s BREAK.Set sieve1 RePeaT ( Go WAIT !STATE.RUN() os.hidden python D:\capture.py break.delete sieve1 go ) I can see there is option in file menu called window screenshot to file, but i am not able to find the command.
