Setting Breakpoints on C6000 DSPs

Muhammad Khan4

I'm trying to set a software (CCS) breakpoint in my program, so that I can import data into a global array before allowing the program to proceed. However, the program continues without stopping. I'm running CCSV6 on the C6657. The target is connected to the host computer via the XDS200 USB JTAG port.

My program uses a function from the Imaging Library (I don't know if that's relevant).

Why doesn't the program stop at my breakpoint?

Note: The program does stop right after entering main, and the Debug window says that it's suspended due to a software breakpoint. I click resume, but it doesn't stop at my breakpoint.

Thanks.

Dear Muhammad,
Able to stop your code at main() in default ?
When ever you load any code on DSP, it should stop at main automatically then you can do debug step by step or step over...
Also try to set break point in any of the function or line in your code then do step by step debugging.

You can try some other example code to know how debugging is working in our CCS and XDS200 JTAG then try with required example.

Yes, the program does break on entering main.
However, it does not stop at any breakpoints I set, whether in my own program or in the led_play example from the User Guide.
I guess one solution is to use the "Step Over" button you mentioned, so that the program runs line by line, until it reaches the point where I want to import data.

There are plenty of CCS wiki pages and e2e threads about break points and debugging using CCS. Please refer them and post it on CCS forum for appropriate response. Thanks.
