Synchronizing code browsing with command line built binary in CCSv5

Soumya Sardar

I am using CCSv5 and TCI6616 simulator for my project.

Using linux make file from command line option, I am compiling the full project and generating the binary in a custom folder inside the project path.

I am able to load this program after launching TCI6616simulator target configuration in CCS v5 windows version and Run->load the .out file.

This way I am able to execute and see the console log.

But how to have the code browsing enabled in the CCS gui with this externally loaded program in synch so that I can put breakpoints in multiple code locations.

And if I pause the program it goes to the code location where it is executing.

Please help me to solve this.

Hi Soumya,

Basically you wish to do source level debug of a program without a project. If you built with debug symbols and minimal optimization, you can use some of the suggestions in the CCSv5 tips and tricks starting at slide 48.

Hi Ki,

I followed the Debugging Without a Project topic in the slides. But could not perform complete debugging of the project.

We have multiple folders with c++ files and making archive .a from the respective folder .o s.

So when I locate the folder which has the file with main function, it takes the main function code. But problem is it does not browse to other folder source files.

How to do multi folder source debugging without a project?

regards

If the debugger is not automatically finding the other source files, you can try "method #2" as mentioned on slide 50. Basically you are adding source search paths for the debug context. It will do a recursive search so you can just specify the root folder if the multiple folders are all subdirectories of one root folder.

Thanks
