Original question:
I am running the example hercules_examples/Application/TMS570LC43x_PMU_Demo downloaded from https://git.ti.com/git/hercules_examples/hercules_examples.git
While the code runs and behaves as expected, I am not able to put a breakpoint anywhere before main(), such as in _c_int00(). The breakpoint window shows these breakpoints as HW breakpoint and shows the action as 'halt execution', but the breakpoints are never hit.
What am I doing wrong?
With that example imported into CCS 11.1:
The above was with "Restore breakpoints from previous session" ticked in the project properties:
In the Breakpoints window is the breakpoint showing up with two ticks, i.e. enabled as from the following working case?
Hello Chester
I have verified that:
1. I have the same debug options as you (please see attached screen shots)
2. The breakpoints are enabled with a double checkmark (one in the text box and one in the round blue icon)
But I still don't hit the breakpoint.
Could it have something to do with differences between the GEL files that you and I are using?
But I still don't hit the breakpoint.
Your breakpoints are shown on the resetEntry and _c_int00 symbols. If try and set breakpoints on those symbols, then get the same symptoms as you. I.e. the Breakpoint view shows them as enabled but on starting a debug session just stops at main:
Since those are the entry points for the program, instead of setting a breakpoint on the symbols, instead in the Debug project properties untick the Auto Run Options -> "On a program load or restart":
With that, on starting a debug program halts at the entry point which is what I think you want:
