unreached breakpoints

Mark Santacesaria

i am using CCS v3.3 for the 28335 (ok, i know that it is old) and have been using it successfully for some time but for some reason it is not reaching some of my breakpoints....not all of them.....any ideas? Thanks.

Hi Mark,

Try changing the workspace and load the same project. This might solve your issue.

Mark,

Did you have some Compiler Optimizations active?

If optimization is active breakpoints can't sometimes set.

Is it code that has been copied from flash to RAM? A Software breakpoint is an opcode inserted into the RAM by Code Composer. If you set a SW breakpoint and then later copy code over that same location the breakpoint will be lost and CCS is none the wiser. In this case the breakpoint would need to be set after running past the copy routine.

If this doesn't fit the senerio - can you provide some more details on where the breakpoint is (linear code, interrupt etc?)

it is code that is copied from flash to RAM......you bring up some good points, i wonder if i am doing something procedurally that is erasing the SW breakpoint....the code in question is in the background and not in an ISR.....
