trace32 cmm command to load CE symbols - command

I need to load CE symbols after every target reset in trace32 debugger. I need to every time click this button (load CE symbols)
And i need to select nt A8_0(jumpered) as shown in fig :
How can i do this using cmm command ? I also want to do this every 10 mins time interval like wait or sleep events?

I am almost sure that both the toolbar button and the dialog are not part of a regular TRACE32 installation. Did you know that TRACE32 users can add their own buttons and dialogs? (See commands MENU and DIALOG) The text "Which ASIC?" sounds really like a dialog spedific to your company/department.
So if you have colleagues, which provide scripts for your debug sessions, I suggest to ask them.
Otherwise you might want to try the following:
Check your CMM scripts and also script C:\T32\t32.cmm for the execution of any MENU and DIALOG commands.
Check your scripts for the executions of other scripts (DO command).
Check if one of the script call a *.men or *.dlg file (Menu or dialog description file), since menu or dialog definitions can be embedded into a CMM script or placed in separate files.
The command(s) you are searching should be somewhere in such a menu or dialog definition.
Search in your setup files for the string "nt A8_0(jumpered)".
Otherwise it might help if you provide the CMM scripts you use to start your debug session.
For executing any a CMM script after fixed time interval you can try the command GLOBALON TIME 600.s DO <myscript.cmm>
This will execute the script after 10 minutes.
So if you want to execute the script periodically you have to place this GLOBALON TIME command again in the end of your script.
However if you intention is to refresh the debug symbols after calling your makefile I suggest not to use GLOBALON TIME. Instead I suggest the following to steps:
Write a CMM script 'myscript.cmm' to reload your debug symbols (same as before)
Enable the remote API port of your TRACE32 application (RCL=NETASSIST in C:\T32\config.t32)
Trigger your CMM script to reload your debug symbols from your makefile after the build with the t32rem.exe console application. Lìke this:
C:\T32\bin\windows\t32rem.exe localhost port=20000 "DO myscript.cmm"

VSCode task in WSL environment, terminal keeps exiting when trying to run shell script

NOTE
I've had to remove like two chunks of this post because stack overflow kept interpreting it as code when it isn't and it wouldn't let me post, I'll just make a screenshot of what the post is supposed to look like and post it here. Read this instead.
Summary
I was finally trying to learn how to use VSCode tasks and so I copied the first task example from here and created a shell script at scripts/test.sh which contains simply "echo foo". I also commented out the windows alternative script because I exclusively use WSL/Bash. Whenever I run the task I receive a "The terminal process terminated with exit code: 1" error message, which is no help whatsoever.
Testing
I ran various tests and I have no idea why this isn't working.
Proving The Task Is In The Correct Directory & In WSL
First I thought maybe the task isn't running in WSL or that the directories are out of sync, so I changed the commands to see what happens.
First, I changed it to:
"command": "pwd",
and the output was "/mnt/f/.../.../tmp/tmp.1BitOIA78E" (... are for some arbitrary path) so clearly I concluded I was running on WSL and in the right path.
Proving the Script is Executeable
Next I thought, maybe the script I'm trying to run isn't executable or something to that affect, so I changed the command to:
"command": "stat ./scripts/test.sh",
and I got the following output which shows, the file exists, it's executeable & can be accessed through "./scripts/test.sh" from whatever directory the Task is set to on construction
I run the task by typing ctrl-shift-P to open the menu, select "run tasks" and then select 'My First Task'.
Note: I don't think this is a settings problem. There're no workspace settings setup (because this is just me testing) & just in case, you can find my current user settings here which I updated immediately before posting this.
Expectations
What I'd like is either:
Someone to tell me how I can access the stderr and stdout log of the shell upon startup so I can get some actually helpful information as to why this is happening.
Someone to tell me why I can run a script perfectly fine outside of a task, but within a task it completely fails.
Whats also of note is that the script isn't the problem here. Leaving it completely blank, doesn't stop the terminal from straight up crashing.

Run a program in debug mode in eclipse in command line

For several reasons I must test my program with multiple computer restart.
So I need at the computer startup, eclipse open and the tested program runs in eclipse (in debug mode if possible).
Can you give me a command line or another way to do that. I just need when I open eclipse or when I use the given command line, the program automatically start
Thank you
For Linux OS (not sure on Win, Mac), Eclipse (or other apps) can be automated with xdotool utility. Assuming your app has run at least once in debug mode within Eclipse so it exists an entry on Debug history, a Bash script could do the following actions
-Edit the script below to set the correct position value for the app.
-Launch Eclipse.
-Wait some time until is fully up.
-Execute the following command sequence:
#!/bin/bash
position=6
#find Eclipse app window IDs, keep the last one
e_wid=$(xdotool search --class Eclipse | gawk 'END{print $0}')
# Create basic command string
cmd="xdotool windowactivate --sync $e_wid"
# Send key strokes with some delay in between
# Open Run menu
$cmd key Alt+r
sleep 1
# select Debug option
$cmd key h
sleep 0.5
# pick the sixth option in that menu
$cmd key $position
It's recommended to mark the app as a favorite so it gets a constant order in the menu.

Running a MATLAB script from Notepad++

Is there a way of running a MATLAB script from Notepad++?
Obviously I have MATLAB installed on my computer. I know you can set a path for Notepad++to run when you hit F5, but when I set this path to my MATLAB.exe file, it simply opens another instance of MATLAB.
This is not what I want, I want the actual script in Notepad++ to be executed in the already open and running instance of MATLAB.
I'm afraid I'm not on my home computer at the moment to test this out, so the following is just a suggestion for you to try.
If you take a look at the NppExec plugin for Notepad++, you'll see that with it you can specify a command to be run when you hit F6 (like an enhanced version of hitting F5 in the regular Notepad++). You can also give it variables such as the path to the current file, and the name of the current file.
MATLAB (on Windows at least - I assume you're on Windows) makes available an API over ActiveX/COM. If you search in the MATLAB documentation for details, it's under External Interfaces -> MATLAB COM Automation Server. By running (in MATLAB) the command enableservice('AutomationServer') you will set up your running instance of MATLAB to receive instructions over this API.
You should be able to write a small script (perhaps in VBScript or something similar) that will take as input arguments the path and filename of the current file in Notepad++, and will then connect to a running instance of MATLAB over the COM API and execute the file's contents.
Set this script to be executed in NppExec when you hit F6, and it should then run the current file in the open instance of MATLAB.
As I say, the above is just speculation as I can't test it out right now, but I think it should work. Good luck!
Use NppExec add-on and press F6, copy paste the following and save the script:
NPP_SAVE
set local MATPATH=C:\Program Files\MATLAB\R2015a\bin\matlab.exe
cd "$(CURRENT_DIRECTORY)"
"$(MATPATH)" -nodisplay -nosplash -nodesktop -r "try, run('$(FILE_NAME)'),
catch me, fprintf('%s / %s\n',me.identifier,me.message), end"
then run (press F6; enter). Matlab Console and Plot windows still open and stay open. Error messages will be displayed in opening Matlab command window. Adding
, exit"
to the last command will make it quit and close again. If you want to run an automated application with crontabs or the like, check Matlab external interface reference for automation.
matlab.exe -automation ...
Also works in cmd terminal, but you have to fill in the paths yourself.
This is a usable implementation upon Sam's idea. First, execute MATLAB in automation mode like this.
matlab.exe -automation
Next, compile and execute this following VB in NppExec plugin. (which is to use MATLAB automation API)
'open_matlab.vb
Imports System
Module open_matlab
' connect to a opened matlab session
Sub Main()
Dim h As Object
Dim res As String
Dim matcmd As String
h = GetObject(, "Matlab.Application")
Console.WriteLine("MATLAB & Notepad++")
Console.WriteLine(" ")
'mainLoop
while True
Console.Write(">> ")
matcmd = Console.ReadLine()
' How you exit this app
if matcmd.Equals("!!") then
Exit while
End if
res=h.Execute(matcmd)
Console.WriteLine(res)
End while
End Sub
End Module
Then you'll get a matlab-like terminal below your editor. You can then code above and execute below. type !! to exit the terminal.
What it looks like
Tips: don't use ctrl+c to interrupt the MATLAB command, because it will kill the whole process instead.

Azure startup task, wait for all other task to finish

I have a startup task for my webrole that download some executable file from a blob and then proceed to the installation.
From a .cmd file, I start a power shell script that download the files, then I start the file from the .cmd.
The script works fine if I run it manually through RDP after the publishing is done.
But, when running as startup script, it sometimes (often) fail at different points.
The taskType is set to background.
Last time, the error was that the command PowerShell does not exists...
Also, I use powershell -command set-executionpolicy unrestricted before running my PS script, but I read here that other task may reset this setting and make mine fail.
Quite a mess.
So that makes me think that if I could wait for all other task to perform before starting mine, it would eliminate these kinds of problems
I suppose I could check if some process is running and wait for it to finish, but I have no clue wich process to check.
Or maybe there's another solution.
~edit~
I read here that the error about powershell not existing may be caused by the batch file being saved as UTF-8 in visual studio. I re-writed it from scratch in notepad++ and made sure it is save as ANSI. Then, same error. The full message is :
'PowerShell' is not recognized as an internal or external command,
operable program or batch file.
Again, the script run perfectly from command line in remote desktop.
It would be possible to set an environment variable at the end of the script that is required to finish, then in the script which is awaiting the dependencies, loop until the environment variable is set, then kick off its activities.
You could also run everything from a single powershell script and use the '-asjob' switch on your installer statement, use the 'wait-job' cmdlet to block until the task is complete then carry on. Powershell also offers a '?!' operator which ensures the last statement executed properly.
This might be caused by an encoding issue. As mentioned in this answer you should save your file in ASCII to ensure correct interpretation of your script.
From the linked answer:
Open your whatever.cmd file with your VS 2012 Ultimate. Click on File->Save whatever.cmd as -> on the dialog there is little arrow next to the [save] button. It will show up a menu that will have the option Save with Encoding.
Select it. Now choose "US-ASCII Codepage 20127" from the list of available encodings.

Command line installer issues

Am attempting to run installer using command line using -c option.
Command line execution appears like this:
E:\dev>MyApp_32.exe -c
E:\dev>This will install App on your computer.
OK [o, Enter], Cancel [c]
E:\dev> (showing the Windows command line is confusing to user)
Welcome .. (text of 2nd screen)
Typing "c" or "Cancel" doesn't work. It always takes enter key as input and proceeds to next screen.
Pressing enter transfers control back to windows's command shell, then back to installer. This looks confusing to user. It doesn't give a unified experience to user.
Is it possible to provide input via a silent file ? i.e. a text file with pre-selected inputs?
Am using 32 bit installer on Win 7 Professional x64 with Java 1.6 installed.
The problem is that the installer is a GUI application, it cannot take control of a WIndows terminal in this way. If you start it via
start /wait MyApp_32.exe -c
the command line prompts will not be displayed.
You can run set a response file with the -varfile argument, see the help for more information.
