CCSTUDIO-MSP: breakpoint groups

Ron Jacobs

Part Number: CCSTUDIO-MSP

I've been unable to get any change in breakpoint behavior by using breakpoint grouping. I'm using Code Composer Studio with C code.

For example, I set a breakpoint and in Breakpoint Properties set it to Group "newgroup_1". Then I set another breakpoint and then in Breakpoint Properties set the Action to "Enable a Group" and set Action Group to "newgroup_1". Also for this first breakpoint I set a Skip Count to a large enough number (50, for example) to ensure that some other events occur before this breakpoint becomes active.

Now I Run Debug.

Result is the breakpoint I assigned to newgroup_1 triggers almost immediately and inspecting the other breakpoint which has action set to "Enable a Group" still shows a Skip Count of 50 but a Current Count of only 1, so I'm not even sure that this enabling breakpoint needs to be reached before the other breakpoint gets enabled.

Using a logic analyzer seems to confirm the result. The two breakpoints seem to work as if they just ignore group instructions.

Please tell me how I can make breakpoint groups work.
Thank you.

    Hey Ron,

    Apologize for the delay.  Were you able to get it working?  

    I'm actually not familiar with breakpoint grouping, but this does seem like a very useful feature offered in CCS.  I'll take a look at it tomorrow and see if I can figure out and get back to you. 

    Thanks,

    JD

    Hi JD,

    It's great to hear from you and that you're interested in this problem. No, I haven't got it working. Over the years, there have be several times at least that breakpoint groups would have been useful, but they never worked at all for me. It hasn't been important to me recently because I solved my problem without using grouping, but I'd be very happy to have grouping in my toolbox for future use. I hope you can explain how to use breakpoint groups.

    Thanks so much for the contact.

    Ron
