ezDsp28335, Running Code From External SRAM, Can't Set Breakpoints

As mentioned, I'm running code by downloading it into the external SRAM.  I first execute the XINTF enable GEL and then download the code.

I know my program runs and executes because it flashes an LED (it's based on the examples from SPRA958H) .

When I try to place a breakpoint I get an error message that says: Trouble setting breakpoint with action "Halt Target".  Error 0x00000008/-1066.  Sequence ID: 7 Error Code -1066 , Error class: 0x00000008.

However, the program does break, but it's in some assembly code someplace and I cannot inspect any of my data values and the step in and around icons are dithered out.

 

Anybody have any ideas?

Thanks in advance.

 

  • One more thing.  It also follows that error message by saying: "Breakpoint Manager: Retrying with a Legacy Hardware breakpoint".

    The breakpoint icon in the left margin at first shows just the red circle (software breakpoint), but very quickly changes to the red circle with the black tic marks at 0, 90, 180, & 270 degrees around the outside.

  • Do You build your project with Full Symbolic Debug(-g)?Also please turn off all optimization and turn off Normal Optimization with Debug(-mn).

    Follow  Option->Customize  then go to Debug Properties tab and check Remove remining debug state at connect. Then go to Program/Project/CIO tab and set both Do not set CIO brakepoint At Load and Do Not Set End Of Program Brakepoint At Load checkboxes, click OK. Restart CCS and try again.

    Also try both software and hardware brakepoints...  What about  Internet explorer 4?

     

  • Thanks Vasily.  I will give that a try.
