About pyspimdbg

pyspimdbg is a very minimal Python interface to SPIM, so as to make MIPS32 debugging easier. Pyspimdbg is known to work on Linux.

Installing pyspimdbg

First install the requirements:

1. SPIM

2. The pexepct Python module. Users with pip can install pexpect via

    sudo pip install pexpect
   

Then, install pyspim itself:

git clone [e-mail]:Gabrain24/pyspimdbg.git
cd pyspim/
./install.sh

Example Usage

Basic Usage

The basic commands for interacting with SPIM to load and run the included test.s are shown below.

spim = Spim(debug = False)      # Start the underlying SPIM process

spim.load('test.s')             # Load a .s file
spim.run()                      # Run the loaded file
print 't0 is', spim.reg(8)      # Get the value from a register

spim.quit()                     # Quit the underlying spim process

Debugging

This version attempts to provide a simple interface to SPIM's debugging Run using pyspimdbg <filename> Commands:

• run - Run the program (alias: r)
• step - Step through the program (alias: s)
• quit - Quit the debugger (alias: q)
• break - Set a breakpoint at a line number (alias: b) and all the basic spim commands
