AM437x QSPI NOR XIP debug with CCS6.1

Hi,

currently I am using CCS6.1 running on Linux U12.04-64 with the AM437x Starterkit on board XDS100v2. I am trying to debug code that resides in QSPI NOR, which is execute-in-place XIP starting at addresses 0x30000000. The code in QSPI is u-boot-qspiboot.bin. Here is a sequence to get that started:

[] Boot up from SDCARD to u-boot prompt, btw QSPI flash is already flashed with u-boot-qspiboot.bin

[] # sf probe 0

[] Connect with CCS to A9

[] Run GEL script default à AM43xxStartState (this will put it in SPV mode and turn MMU off)

[] Run GEL script default à Disable Watchdog

[] Set 0x47900064 register to 0x3 (now QSPI is visible through 0x30000000)

[] Load symbols of u-boot-qspiboot

[] Set PC to symbol “reset”

[] Now I can step from there, or run

My primary problem is that HW breakpoints don't seem to work. The CPU runs right past them. Has anyone tried this?

Thanks,
