compiler option about c66 device


Hi,

My customer think that to use "-symdebug:coff" option on C667x device.
Because they want to COFF debugging with "-symdebug:coff" option.

They tried "-mv62" and "-mv67x+" option at their program.
"-mv62" is seems to work without problems, but "-mv67x+" does not work correctly.

I'm concerned about the following things:
 Q1: Does C66 device is possible to use "-mv67x+" option?
 Q2: Do you have any information in order to using the "-mv67x+" option on C66 device.


Best regards

  • Hi,
    Moved this thread over Compiler forum for faster response. Thank you for your patience.
  • To use C66x instructions, you must use -mv6600; however, COFF (STABS) debug is not supported on that device.
    Yes, you should be able to run C67x+ code on C66x with no problem. You said that -mv67x+ "does not work correctly;" how do you know it is not working? What is the symptom? Does the compiler emit an error? Does the debugger refuse to load the program? Does the program reach an infinite loop? Does the program run and produce incorrect results?
