S/W BP on static library source

Mario Raffin

Other Parts Discussed in Thread: AM3352

Dear support,

I am debugging an application on a AM3352 device with the SDK "ti-processor-sdk-linux-am335x-evm-01.00.00.00" and the CCS 6.1.2.00015.

My code links a static library (.a) which is compiled in debug mode. When I debug my code I can step into the functions of the lib.

If I put a breakpoint on the functions of my code and go with a run (F8), the debugger stops on the breakpoints as expected.

But it does not stop on the breakpoints I put on the source code of the library.

A difference I noticed is that, on the Break Point View, the BP on my code are showed with the line number (e.g. ermes.c [line: 3192] ) while the BP on the lib are marked as SW BP (e.g. media.c, line 94 [S/W BP] ) .

How can I stop automagically on these last BP?

Thank you.

Hello,
It sounds like the debugger is not associating the library source code you are setting the BP in with the application. For the library source file that you set the breakpoint in - how was it opened in CCS? Did the debugger automatically open it? Or did you manually open it?

Thanks
ki

Hi Ki,

the file opens automatically with a "step into" (F5). In any case I found that adding the source path of the library sources under "Path and Symbols", "Source Locations", I solve the breakpoint problem.

Thank you for your support.

Just FYI, this behavior is also documented in this wiki page: http://processors.wiki.ti.com/index.php/Debug_Handbook_for_CCS#Debugging_Library_code
