SC389 code breakpoint not being set

Hi,

Can you please refer the below FAQ:
FAQ: Unable to set breakpoints within code in CCES
https://ez.analog.com/docs/DOC-2405

If you are trying to set breakpoints when code is running, you cannot do as this is a limitation not of the CCES tools, unfortunately. Also can you please ensure that whether you are setting the breakpoint after loading the dxe files into the SHARC cores.

You can find information on breakpoints in CCES help using the following path:
<Help>\Contents\CrossCore Embedded Studio <version> > Integrated Development Environment > Debugging Targets > Hardware Breakpoints/Watchpoints for SHARC Processors > Setting Hardware Breakpoints for ADSP-SC5xx Cortex A5 Cores

Please refer in CCES help about Restrictions on Breakpoints
Processor Documentation > SHARC Processor Programming Documentation > SHARC Processor Programming Reference > 8 JTAG Test Emulation Port > Functional Description > Breakpoints > Hardware Breakpoints  > General Restrictions on Software Breakpoints

CrossCore Embedded Studio <version> > Integrated Development Environment > Debugging Executable Files > Working with Breakpoints, Watchpoints, and Breakpoint Actions > Setting a Software Breakpoint

If you are still facing the issue, please share us the screenshot of the error that you are facing. Also let us know whether you are facing the issue only the specific project or with all the projects. If you are facing the issue specific project, share us the example project with the exact steps to reproduce your issue. This will help us to assist you further.

Hi Kader

Thank you for your reply. I have looked at the help pages you suggest and have tried a few things such as setting h/w breakpoints and adding a breakpoint rather than toggling it.

I still can't set breakpoints but I notice that whilst I am trying to set a breakpoint on core 1, the breakpoint window indicates that the breakpoint is on core 0.  Even if I use add "Add Breakpoint" and specifically select core 1 the breakpoint windows indicates that the breakpoint is on core 0.

Setting a h/w beakpoint doesn't appear to do anything.  There is not even an error message.

I have attached a screen shot where I have attempted to toggle a s/w breakpoint at line 28 in StartupTest_Core1.c and add a s/w breakpoint on core1 at line 39.

This behavior is common to several projects I have tried to create.

Thanks

Hi,

Can you please confirm whether you are setting the breakpoints before launching the session. If so, can you please try with setting breakpoint after launching the session with the below steps and let us know how you get on.

1) Import the project into CCES work space.
2) Build the project.
3) Launch the debug configurations.
4) After load completion, set the break points.

Also please try with importing the project into new workspace.

Kader

Hi,

Also from the screenshot that you shared, we noted that you have enabled the option 'Skip All Breakpoints'. Can you please disable the option (Image1) and try.

Regards,

Kader

I did get breakpoints to work by setting up a new workspace like you suggested. I did manage to import my project into the new workspace but this didn't work very well as it did not handle linked files, so I had to manually re-import these. 

Once this was done I was able to set breakpoints in the source code.
