如何设置Trace32执行COVerage.ADD后不中断并自动执行后续CMM脚本

Hey there! I’ve dealt with this exact Trace32 quirk before—nothing’s more frustrating than having a script hang waiting for a manual "continue" click after a coverage command. Here are two solid ways to fix it:

Solution 1: Global Auto-Continue for Entire Script #

If you don’t need any manual intervention throughout your script, add this line at the very start of your CMM file:

SCRIPT.AUTOCONTINUE ON

This tells Trace32 to skip all automatic script pauses (including the one triggered by COVerage.ADD) and keep executing subsequent commands without user input. It’s a one-and-done fix for fully automated workflows.

Solution 2: Disable Pause Only for COVerage.ADD #

If you want to keep pauses enabled for other parts of your script but bypass it just for the coverage step, use the /NOBREAK parameter with the COVerage.ADD command:

COVerage.ADD /NOBREAK

This parameter overrides the default pause behavior specifically for this coverage database update, letting your script proceed immediately to the next line.

Quick Notes #

• If you use the global SCRIPT.AUTOCONTINUE ON setting and later need a manual pause (e.g., to inspect a breakpoint), you can temporarily disable it with SCRIPT.AUTOCONTINUE OFF, then re-enable it when you’re ready to automate again.
• Make sure your Trace32 version supports these parameters—all recent releases do, but if you’re on an ancient build, you might need to update your toolchain.
