Debugging multiple CPUs in CCS V5.1

Ralf Goebel

Hi,

I have some problems setting breakpoints in CCS. This is the situation:

My target configuration consists of 4 C6455 DSPs (custom hardware). I use one program file for the first DSP ("Master") and one program for the other 3 DSPs ("Slaves"). Both programs use partially the same source files. The problem is that I'm not able to set breakpoints in shared source files independently between different DSPs, even if I only select one DSP in the Debug view. It seems that breakpoints are always acting on Master and Slave DSPs. Is it possible to change this behaviour?

I think I found a solution:

In the Debug View, I simply created a group for the Master DSP and this solved the problem. I already created a group for the Slave DSPs, but not for the Master.

Is this the expected behavior?

Hi Ralf,

Your original expectation is the same as mine - if you select a single CPU in the Debug view, it should set the breakpoint for just that core.

You may want to open the breakpoints view and group by debug context. This will help you confirm how the breakpoints are being set:
