CCS 6.0 Breakpoint disable have no effect

Hi e2e,

We use Code Composer Studio 6.0 and we have a problem with Breakpoints.

We add a Breakpoint inside Code. if BP is enabled, the Processor stops programm correctly. Furthermore we Disable / remove the BP, but the Prozessor stops the programm on the disabled BP too.

So can everyone help us, to correct this effect or tell me what is the problem?

thanks

Matthias

  • Hello Matthias,

    Can you provide some more details (is it a HW or SW breakpoint? What device and emulator are you using? How are you setting the breakpoint? etc)?

    Also a screenshot would help, especially of the "Breakpoints" view showing the breakpoint disabled

    Thanks

  • Hello Ki,
    Sorry for the missing details.
    We develop on CCS V6.0 with an XDS100 JTag device. The HW Platform is an Concerto F28M35H52.

    A Restart of both Cores brings no effect also a disconnect to the HW. Even a newstart of CCS do not disabled the Breakpoint.

    The Breakpoint is an Hw Breakpoint.
    In the event of a fault the added Hw-Breakpoint will to an Software Breakpoint. And I have no chance to disable this SW-Breakpoint.
    Thanks for your help

  • Hello Matthias,

    Some recommendations to fix the issue:

    1. Restart the computer and disconnect/reconnect the xds100.  If this works, you will not have to do the next step.

    2. delete the release or debug directory (depends on configuration you are building) and rebuild the project.

    Also, if the code is running in RAM, you will need to set the breakpoint after copying the code from flash to RAM, i.e. after stepping over the following piece of code:

    memcpy(&ramfuncs_runstart, &ramfuncs_loadstart, (Uint32) &ramfuncs_loadsize);

    You mentioned "disable". Are you trying to disable it or remove it? If you haven't tried removing, can you so do?

    Also you should be getting some error message from the debugger if the debugger has failed to disable/remove the breakpoint. Can you post that error message?

    Thanks

  • HI Ki,

    If we disable or remove the brakepoint the core stops still at the disabled /removed brakepoint. And no Warning or Error Massage appears.

  • Are you using the Concerto controlcard? If so, can you provide a reproducible test case so I can try it with my controlcard?


    Thanks
