SK-TDA4VM: Breakpoint Setting

Hi Team, seeking for some support.

We want to set a breakpoint at the MAIN entry function of our software.

The problem is, that while we CAN set a breakpoint in CCS, it is not reached, because by the time we do this:

1 Connect target

2 Load symbols

Our software has already went beyond that line, reaching OS level things.

We have configured to reset the device when we Load the Symbols ( Run -> Load Symbols), but it does not seem to reset it.

Please, is there a way to do this from the CCS interface? Reset it on Load, and realy hit the breakpoint?

Thank you.

Hi Mark,

You can use a big/infinite while loop at the beginning of your program which will keep the control there and then after loading the symbols move from there step by step. Please refer to the FAQ https://e2e.ti.com/support/processors-group/processors/f/processors-forum/1121933/faq-tda4vm-debugging-sbl-boot-in-rtos-sdk
