Adjusting offsets for source code debugging?

Tom Rini

Hi all,

As part of debugging U-Boot, it would be nice to be able to follow what's going on, not just with the disassembler but with the source code as well. The problem is that beyond a certain point in the startup sequence the problem isn't running at the link address but at another address in memory it's moved to. Is there a way to CCS to look at $link-addr + offset in stead of (or in addition to) $link-addr ? Thanks!

Hi Tom,

You can try loading symbol with an offset, there is an option in the load symbol dialog to specify the offset. Is this what you are looking for?

Patrick

I don't see that in the 'CCS - Device Debugging' debug configuration area, but I could just be blind. Thanks.

The load Symbol option should be available in the CCS Debug Perspective.See the screen capture below. When you click on the 'Load Symbols...' option, you should be present with a dialog to enter code offset and data offset.
