EVMK2H debug ARM assembly

Please make sure that you setup your hardware for "No boot" mode ie emulation mode.
Which example code are you trying to load ?
Is it your own code or TI provided ?

Titus S,

It's my own code, I set the board as no boot, and load the program,it's the same error with before.
In my arm project , I have no cmd file like the dsp project, and in the ARM project map, all the data and text section start from address 0x0,I have a doubt about whether I need add a cmd file for arm project, so that it can place the text and data section in a valid address range.

Best Regards,

Si

Yes, you need to add linker command file to mention about your (.out) program memory segments.

/*
* Do not modify this file; it is automatically generated from the template
* linkcmd.xdt in the ti.targets.elf package and will be overwritten.
*/

/*
* put '"'s around paths because, without this, the linker
* considers '-' as minus operator, not a file name character.
*/

I use the cmd you give, it has some error, here it is :

Try this,
I'm able to use the following .cmd and able see the effect in *.map.

it 's the same error, if it 's added to a dsp project,I think it will be ok, but now it's a ARM project,  the cmd  file format not recognized by the arm-linux-gnueabihf/bin/ld.exe, and it treating as linker script，are there some property of the project needed to configure？

what cross compiler are you used? I use the gcc-linaro-arm-linux-gnueabihf-4.9-2014.09, does it matter?

Apologize, I have provided it for DSP (L2 RAM) :-(

Use this now and sure it would work as worked for me.

Now I've used MSMCRAM (it common for both ARM and DSP)

the same error.

I create a ccs project, do you create a ccs project or a c project? Here is my project  property：

I've created CCS project for K2HK board on CCSv6 and not using generic Cortex A15.

Also I have CCSv5.5 but I don't have a option for "Generic Cortex A15" to create a ARM project for K2HK board.

What is your CCS version ?

If not a CCSv6, could you try it on CCSv6.

Else attach your project here (or send to me directly x0213399@ti.com)  I will try to build it on CCSv6 and let me update.

Titus S.

Have you received my email? I attach my project in this email.

Yep, I got it and facing some build error (gmake: Target `all' not remade because of errors.).
Which compiler are you using ?

I use gcc-linaro-arm-linux-gnueabihf-4.9-2014.09, which is a window linaro gcc.

Regards,

Si

Who recommended to use this compiler ?
Could you share the link where you got downloaded.

here is the link: www.linaro.org/downloads

there are some introduction about the linaro cross compiler.

Hi Titus S.

You said"
We have to use linker command file to map .out to RAM in CCS IDE.
You need to use TI GNU ARM compiler to recognize the .cmd file while building. "

Q1. How can I use the linker command file to map .out to RAM in CCS IDE?
Q2. Is the TI GNU ARM compiler integrated in CCS IDE? My ccs ARM project compiler is GNU4.7.4, is this one ?

I have bee troubled for several days, hope I can solve this problem.

Best Regards,

Si
