Launchpad RM46LX loading error with message "Unhandled stab entry SEVERE: Encountered a problem loading file:"

Avishek Parajuli94

Other Parts Discussed in Thread: HALCOGEN, CCSTUDIO, ENERGYTRACE, MSP430WARE, UNIFLASH

Hardware: RM46 launchpad; using FREE-RTOS port provided by TI and generated halcogen project for FREE-RTOS() with GNU GCC tools

I have successfully generated the application(sumdiff.elf) for the rm46lx with FREE RTOS using GNU GCC tool-chain.
However, i am having trouble while lodaing the application. I am able to connect to the hardware but i am getting  an message "Unhandled stab entry
SEVERE: Encountered a problem loading file:" .

IS there something wrong with the generated executable?

    Avishek,

    No idea. Would need to look at the file.

    Thank you Anthony for your reply.
    which file are you referring to ? The generated executable "sumdiff.elf" ?

    Could you please elaborate on what should i be checking on the generated executable "sumdiff.elf"?
    I can use the "readelf" and look for any specific flags with which the executable is generated.
    used flags
    CompilerFlags = '-mcpu=cortex-r4f -march=armv7-r -mfpu=vfpv3-d16 -mlittle-endian -r -fno-builtin -mapcs -gdwarf-3';
    AssemblerFlags = '-mcpu=cortex-r4f -march=armv7-r -mfpu=vfpv3-d16 -mlittle-endian -r';
    LinkerFlags = ' --specs=nosys.specs -mcpu=cortex-r4f -march=armv7-r -mfpu=vfpv3-d16 -mlittle-endian ';

    No idea what we're looking for to be honest.
    But without the .elf file to reproduce the issue - I can't look at it and can't pull in an expert in the TI XDS-GDB server if needed.

    Attached is the generated elf file and the target  0028.elfFile.zipconfiguration file.

    Hi Avishek,

    I'm having some trouble reproducing the problem.

    I do get an error but it's very different:

    c:\ti\ccsv6\ccs_base\scripting\examples\loadti>loadti -c C:\Users\a0321811\Desktop\misc\forum\mathworks\RM46Lx.ccxml C:\Users\a0321811\Desktop\misc\forum\mathworks\sumdiff.elf -a -v

    --------------------------

    I tried a few ideas like putting the firmware of the on-board emulator back to an old version but the loadti tool picks up on that problem and

    outputs:


    Configuring Debug Server for specified target...
    Done
    TARGET: Texas Instruments XDS110 USB Debug Probe_0
    Connecting to target...
    SEVERE: IcePick: Error connecting to the target: (Error -1040 @ 0x0) A firmware update is required for the debug probe. Click the "Update" button to update the firmware and connect to the debug target. DO NOT UNPLUG THE DEBUG PROBE DURING THE UPDATE. (Emulation package 6.0.407.3)

    So I think if it were just the firmware on your launchpad you'd get the above error rather than the cryptic one.

    And I tried two different versions of CCS v6 that i had installed.


    At this point maybe it's worthwhile to get the specific CCS version numbers that you have and are trying to use so that we can try to match exactly.

    Best Regards,

    -Anthony

    Also I forgot to tell you where to find the specific versions.. for my setup I just went to
    Help->About and pressed the Installation Details button to bring up the Installed Software list,
    then selecting it all you can copy / paste like this.. I think we're mainly interested in
    Hercules Emulation, Debug Server Flash, TI Emulators but then there might be others so best
    to get the whole list like this:

    Separate comment - would be good for you to try the cloud based uniflash available https://dev.ti.com/
    It works w. the launchpad you are using and would be somewhat independent.

    I could download the .elf file with this tool. Verify failed on some locations in RAM but these I think have to do with the fact that the program probably ran and modified the locations in RAM.
