TMS320F280037: Debug Configuration Connect to Running Target without halting

Part Number: TMS320F280037

Tool/software:

Greetings,

I'd like to connect to the TMS320F280037 with XDS200 Debug Probes while my program is running without flashing new code and without halting the operation.

From reading other posts, I have tried the following debug configurations:

On program tab of debug configurations, select Load Symbols only.

On target tab:

uncheck halt the target on a connect

check enable real time mode

check enable polite mode

I then get stuck at this point and this window loads indefinitely.

I've tried rude mode as well, but get stuck here:

How can I resolve this?

Thanks,

Ryan

  • Hi,

    I think it will be necessary to edit/remove GEL file to stop the GEL from halting on a connection. I believe for 28x, the driver will automatically issue a halt on connect (even if the debugger or GEL does not) unless real-time mode is explicitly enabled:

  • Hi Benjamin, how do I edit the GEL file to allow a connection to the target without halting?

  • Hi,

    I am out of office until 9/19/24, I will try to get back to you as soon as possible upon my return.

    Thank you,

  • Hi,

    I think you could try commenting everything in the OnTargetConnect() function honestly.

    Please see if combining that with the above instructions resolves your issue.
