Cannot debug a simulated Stellaris project

I've got a Stellaris project for an M4F evaluation board. Instead of using the board-license for CCS, I got a 90-day development license, which is still good.

Debugging the project ON the board works fine, and I can step through the code. If I try to use the simulator to debug without the board present, I get an error that says "CORTEX_M4_0: Error connecting to the target: Frequency is out of range." When I go to Run->Debug Configurations->Target, the target selected is "Stellaris In-circuit Debug Interface 0", and this is greyed out and cannot be changed. I don't see any other settings that would allow me to change this selection or simulate a target.

The manual seems to indicate that I should be able to debug without a hardware target - is this not supported, or do I have something that's configured incorrectly?

  • Hi Benjamin,

    unfortunately I do not believe there is an M4 simulator in CCS.  Sorry to bear bad news and I would post in the Stellaris forum to see if they can comment on future availability.

    I should also say in your target configuration (ccxml file) you should have Texas Instruments Simulator selected as the connection.  You can then see that there are no M4 devices on the list of available targets.

    Hope this at least helps clarify.

    Best Regards,
