[RM57Lx LaunchPad] Debug without target device Possible?

Dear community,

I cannot connect RM57Lx LaunchPad now and the deadline of the student project is approaching. Could I debug the project codes without connecting the target device? Debug without downloading in CCS v6.1?

Could I use the C-SPY Debugger of IAR EWARM for this purpose? There is a very simple tutorial in IAR EWARM, but I don't know how to accommodate the sample code for RM57Lx LaunchPad.

Any hints about C-SPY debugger of IAR EWARM for Cortex-R / Hercules will be appreciated!

    Hello Honig,

    I have forwarded your question to one of our experts with the IAR tools so that they may provide a more complete response to your question.

    Honig,

    I think your best bet is to try and get the device working by either attaching an external debug probe such as JTAG Jet or XDS200 using the provided JTAG port on the board. This will bypass the XDS110 on the board. Or, try connecting the board directly to a USB port of your laptop to see if the XDS110 can be seen.

    To my knowledge, there are no simulators that will simulate the device as a whole so using any debug methodology without the target will only get you CPU functions (R4/R5) and compiles without errors but no modeling of the architecture or peripherals. In short, I think the focus should be on the other thread trying to get the connection issue resolved.

    Chuck,

    I agree with you. I will focus on the connection issue.

    Hmm... I'd like to leave this question as "Not Answered" for several days. Because I am curious to see how to use C-SPY debugger in IAR EWARM IDE for Hercules devices. :)
