Lauterbach Trace32 plugin usage in CCS 6.1 for TM4C with TI compiler

Hello,

in our projects we usually use the Lauterbach Trace32 tools for debugging. Now we have a project where we use a TM4C129ENCPDT and develop the code on CCS 6.1 and the TI Compiler (not GCC).

Lauterbach offers a plugin for Eclipse (see http://www2.lauterbach.com/pdf/int_eclipse_gdb.pdf ) which also seems to work in CCS - at least it can be installed without any problems.

To setup the according debug configuration one has to specifiy the path to a GDB debugger executable (see page 9, step 6 in the above document). In GCC there is 'arm-none-eabi-gdb.exe' which would do this task. To me it seems that there is no such executable included in the TI compiler. Or am I missing or misunderstanding anything?

Best regards,
Michael

  • Michael,

    We do not provide GDB with the TI compiler. GDB typically comes with GCC. There is an arm-non-eabi-gdb.exe in the GCC distribution that we bundle with CCS. It is located in: <CCS Install dir>\ccsv6\tools\compiler\gcc-arm-none-eabi-4_9-2015q3\bin

    I don't have a Lauterbach Trace32 available to try this with. Theoretically it should be possible.

    Regards,
    John
