Breakpoint is set in Linux, but BlackHawk doesn't stop on breakpoint

Hello,

I follow the direction to build a Linux kernel for stop mode debugging with Blackhawk emulator from the following link.

http://processors.wiki.ti.com/index.php/Linux_Debug_in_CCSv5

I am attempting to set a breakpoint in davinci_mdio_probe() to debug the mdio driver in the kernel that came with the PSP for CA816X EVM.  I can set the breakpoint in CCSv5, but Blackhawk emulator just run past the driver w/o stopping the processor.  I can single step and see C source code display in main.c or process.c so I think the symbols were loaded correctly.   What else can I do in order to break into a driver?  The driver is built-in with the kernel and not loaded as a module.

Thanks,

Tri

    Hello Tri,

    A few questions:

    What is the full version number of CCS that you are using?

    Which Blackhawk emulator are you using? A XDS560v2?

    How exactly are you setting the breakpoint? (double-clicking on the source line in the editor? from the breakpoints view?)

    Did you confirm in the breakpoints view that the breakpoint was sucessfully set?

    Thanks

    Hi Ki,

    I'm using Version 5.0.1.201105110900  Build id: N201105110900

    Blackhawk XDS560v2 System Trace

    I set bp by using the breakpoint view.  I entered the function name and saw the breakpoint get set sucessfully.  The small checkbox in breapoint view is checked.

    Thanks,

    Tri
