Code Composer 4.10.37 can only debug assembly no C source files

Hi All,

I am new to the TI tools and dsp's.  We are using TMS20VC33 DSP with XD510USB emulator.

The problem I have is that I can only step through dis-assembly and cannot step through the C code.

I do not have a project in Code Composer and build my output file using the -g option.

Is it possible to debug in Code Composer 4.10.37 without having a project ? if yes how ?

Thanks

    It is not possible. You will need to create a dummy project with your source files.

    Sorry

    Hi,

    Thanks for the quick reply does this mean:

    1. I need to build my output (*.out) file from within Code Composer or

    2. do I just need to add the source files and can use the existing make system we have ?

    Best regards,

    Tabib

    Hi,

    Thanks for you help.  I have added all my files in a dummy CCS project.  However it seems I can only set the breakpoint in one C source file.  If I try setting a breakpoint in any other file I get the following error message:

    "Unable to move breakpoint to a valid line at source line:XX<file name> it has been disabled"

    They are all compiled with the same options. 

    If I check in breakpoint manager I see the breakpoint there but it is disabled and if enable it I get the same error message.

    It could be that CC cannot associate the symbols with the other source files. It is hard to say. You can try entering mixed mode in the editor and see if you get C/asm interleaving (assuming mixed mode is supported in CCv4)

    Unfortunately CCv4 is 15 years old. We stopped supporting it long time ago and there is not much support we can give for such an old tool.

    Thanks for the prompt reply.

    I can see the assembly and c in the file I can set the breakpoints in but cannot in any of the other files.

     

    How does CC associate the symbols with source files ?
