[STLA DMS AM62x_SK] Stellantis Valéo - Vision Software - Debug mode - CCS

Vincent COLLONGUES

Hello,

I am working in Valeo company in software testing team. I have done a meeting with François Charlot from TI and he told me to ask my question on this forum.

I am trying to use Code Composer Studio for testing.

Can you confirm our understanding of this problem ?

And can you find a solution to solve this problem ?

I am available for any further information.

Problem:

For testing Vision SW requirements, Code Composer Studio has been installed but it failed to reach the goal.

I] CCS:

A] CCS steps:

1.1) I have built Vision software in debug mode : make AM62_run DEBUG=1 (see attachment : Compilation_in_Debug_Mode.PNG)

1.2) CCS : File-> Import -> Projects from Git -> C:\User_VCO\B\proj1999_vision_it\proj1999_xms-vision

2.1) I have connected the cables to the EVM board.

2.2) See on TeraTem EVM initialization after 5 seconds (see attachment: Wait_5_seconds_EVM_initialization.PNG)

3) I have selected AM62x_SK_EVM.ccxml as "Launch Selected Configuration"

4) I have connected to BLAZAR_Cortex_M4F_1

5) I have load program => C:\User_VCO\B\proj1999_vision_it\proj1999_xms-vision\4_Samples\build\M4_APP\sysroot\bin\demoAppVision

6) I have load symbols => C:\User_VCO\B\proj1999_vision_it\proj1999_xms-vision\4_Samples\build\M4_APP\sysroot\bin\demoAppVision

7) I have do "locate file" C:\User_VCO\B\proj1999_vision_it\proj1999_xms-vision\4_Samples

B] Obtained results:

I want to put a breakpoint in a file and go to this breakpoint: I enter in main.cpp, but when I put a breakpoint in an other file:

the breakpoint is never reached => Failed
step by step debugging failed and when I push arrows button, I doesn't follow the code but it enters in Assembly => Failed => See Screenshot_1.PNG and Screenshot_2.PNG files.

C] Analysis:

Vision compilation option is -Oz => smaller code size => debug symbols not found by CCS => Failed => See Screenshot_3.PNG and Screenshot_4.PNG files.

How to select addresses of the .map file ?

D] Others compilations:

I have compiled Vision with others compilation options => program will not fit into available memory => Failed => See Screenshot_5.PNG and Screenshot_6.PNG files.

Vincent,

can you share your Linker cmd file. This will help us understand your memory architecture.

one thing I can clearly see is your code is not fitting in available memory and you are trying to use compiler option for smaller code size.

There is a way to tell the compiler to align functions to 4-byte boundaries instead of 16-byte boundaries(default Option). Use these options …

-mllvm -align-all-functions=2

These options affect the function alignment, and nothing else. The argument to -align-all-functions is a power of 2. 2**2 is 4, so each function gets aligned to a 4 byte boundary.

For maximum effect, these options must be used when building both Application code and all the libraries.

Note: the RTS libraries that come with the compiler are not built with these options, so those functions will continue to align on 16 byte boundaries.

How to apply these Compiler options :

please see the Image below, it shows where the Compiler flag needs to be applied
