Debug with CCS ARM assembly code generated with gcc

Guru**** 151774 points

Hi,

I am trying to debug with CCS some ARM code that was compiled with gcc tools. I am using mixed ARM/Thumb mode. I see some incorrect instructions in the disassembler window. This is probably because code was not generated with TI cgtools.

Is there a way to debug correctly with CCS gcc ARM generated asm code?

Thanks

Cesar

  • Cesar,

    In general CCS should be able to debug gcc generated code but we have seen/heard of a few issues here and there, so as you expected, the debug experience may not be as good as what you get with compiling with TI cgtools.

    I believe this should be improved in CCS 5.4 compared with earlier versions. Are you able to give this version a try?
    The beta is currently available for download and the final release should be out by end of the month.

    If 5.4 shows the same issue it would help if you could attach a simple test case to demonstrate the issue so we can check if it is something we can address/fix for the next release.
