Configuration files for debugging Renesas V850/RH850 Binaries with IDA 7.4 and TRACE32 Simulator

README

1. Install TRACE32 for V850/RH80 from https://www.lauterbach.com/frames.html?download_demo.html
2. copy *.cmm to the TRACE32 installation folder
3. overwrite config.t32 found in the TRACE32 installation folder with the one provided, edit "SYS variable
4. add the content provided with "gdb_arch.cfg" to the existing %IDADIR%\cfg\gdb_arch.cfg file
5. open the file "ghv850.cfe" from the TRACE32 installation folder with IDA
6. In IDA, go to "Debugger -> Select debugger", pick "Remote GDB debugger"
7. Go to "Debugger -> Debugger options -> Set specific options", tick the
   "Run a program..." checkbox, then click "choose a configuration", pick the configuration
   named "TRACE32: Renesas RH850 (ELF)" and confirm.
8. Go to "Debugger -> Process options...", fill the hostname (127.0.0.1) and port (30000)
   text fields
9. "Start process" (F9) or "Run to cursor" (F4) will start TRACE32 in the background and
    will allow the file loaded into IDA to be debugged using the TRACE32 simulator's GDB
    backend
