CCS: Possible Solution/Workaround for CCS: Enable C/C++ breakpoint (For GDB use)

Tool/software: Code Composer Studio

Hi,

wondering that no one of TI tells a solution/workaround to the problem for using C/C++ Breakpoints in a CCS project.

Solution/Workaround:

In the project folder is a subfolder called ".settings" in this there is a file of the name "org.eclipse.cdt.debug.prefs". Open it in an editor (for e.g. diectly in CCS --> File --> Open File...) and remove line which sets the ".toggleBreakpointModel"

eclipse.preferences.version=1
org.eclipse.cdt.debug.core.toggleBreakpointModel=com.ti.ccstudio.debug.CCSBreakpointMarker

In my case the file just includes only one line after deleting the ".toogleBreakpointModel" and looks as follow

eclipse.preferences.version=1

Directly after saving the file you will be able to set breakpoints of type "C/C++ Breakpoints"

Hope this helps.

Regards

PF

  • PF,

    Thanks for sharing the tip. I personally had no idea there was a demand for this particular mix-and-match of breakpoint types on a CCS project.

    That said, as a general statement we usually act conservatively to prevent users from directly editing the files that comprise the project. Any changes done by the GUI can potentially override the manually edited settings. 

    At any rate, the suggestion is registered. Thank you again!

    Regards,

    Rafael
