Problems with CCS 5.2 beta

Other Parts Discussed in Thread: TMS570LS20216, CCSTUDIO

Hello TI Team,

I'm currently using the CCS 5.2 beta Demo (because of J-Link support) and have encountered the following two issues:

1) When debugging and using “Step Over (F6)”, function calls do get entered anyway. If I’m then inside the function and use “Step Return (F7)”, the debugger just starts running and only halts if breakpoints are set.
I’ve seen this thread http://e2e.ti.com/support/development_tools/code_composer_studio/f/81/p/119854/522709.aspx#522709, but it did not solve my problem.

2) The second issue is that when starting a new debug session, the initialization (reset?) of the microcontroller does quite often not work and I have to do a “Core Reset” and “Reset” first in order to be able to start the debug session.

I’m using:
Code Composer Version: 5.2.0.00057
J-Link JTAG Debugger
TMS570LS20216

My question: Are these problems not and are there or will there be fixes? I could provide an example project, if that would help.

Regards,
Jakob

    Hi Jakob,

    Thank you for trying out CCS 5.2 beta and the J-Link support beta . The problem you are experiencing appears to be present with other emulators as well for the Hercules BE8 devices. We will look into this and give you an update soon.

    Regards,

    Hello Victor,

    Thanks, I’m looking forward to a solution to these annoying issues.

    There is another problem I have to mention: Ever time I start a new debug session, the Registers, Expressions and Variables tabs are empty. I have to “force” a refresh of the tabs by choosing another tab than the current one, then everything work normally again.
    I should mention that I have those three tabs in a single, detached window and that this issue rarely also occurs during a debugging session, i.e. when I start a Resume and then hit Pause.

    Regards,

    Jakob

    Hi Jakob,

    Thank you for your patience. Please grab the updated J-Link patch here: http://software-dl.ti.com/dsps/dsps_public_sw/sdo_ccstudio/CCSv5/beta/ti_jlink_support_setup_0.1.0.3.zip

    This will fix your problem with stepping out. You will also need to update to the release version of 5.2.0.00069, which will fix the problem with stepping over.

    The register view refresh issue fix however, sadly did not make into the release cycle. I will update here when that fix is in release.

    As there are other higher priorities, it may take longer time for J-Link related problems to iron out, thank you for your understanding.

    Regards,

    Victor
