CCS 5.4 Impressive :) Small issue with debugging

Other Parts Discussed in Thread: TMS320C5515

Hi all,

 

I have just migrated my projects from CCS 4 to CCS 5.4. I must admit that I am impressed. I love the eclipse environment, and this is as close as it can get!

 

I have a minor issue when debugging. I am developing code for a TMS320C5515 Evaluation module. I have managed to set up the environment well, so I am able to compile and built the .out file and load it onto my hardware. The problem is that when debugging, I can not set break points. If I press F6 (Step Over), the code continues to run indefinitely.

What am I missing here?

Thanks in advance,

Simon

    I assume your project is built with debugging enabled (-g option). Do you get any errors when trying to set breakpoints? Or are you able to set breakpoints ok but when you press "Step Over" the code keeps running?

    Does this behavior occur only at a specific point in the code, or does Step Over exhibit this behavior all the time? Do other step functions such as "Step Into" work ok?

    You were right, I did not have the -g option enabled. I included that option and debugging is now working perfectly.

     

    Thanks a lot.
