CCS/DRA756: CCSv7.3 can't find source files for A15 (on DRA75x), and can't set breakpoints when importing makefile project

Eric Best
Expert 7255 points
Part Number: DRA756
Other Parts Discussed in Thread: CCSTUDIO

Tool/software: Code Composer Studio

When importing a project into CCS with the option "existing code as a Makefile project", CCS is unable to find source files for the A15 core.  They need to be manually added with the source location.  After doing so, breakpoints do not work in CCS for the A15 source files.  It is possible to set breakpoints in the disassembly window, but not at the source level.  All other cores work perfectly in this case (C66_0, C66_1, IPU1, IPU2), so the issue is isolated to the A15 source only.

Is there some CCS setting needed or GCC compiler option?  Perhaps there is something related to GCC outputs as all other cores are using TI CGT.  Appreciate any inputs on getting this to work.

Regards,

Eric

    Eric,

    I don't have a DRA75x board, but perhaps this may happen with other devices. What is the project you are trying to use?

    Also, are you using Linux or Windows? I know there were some severe issues with breakpoints and Linux versions of CCS in a somewhat recent past (CCSv6.2.0, CCSv7.1.0) but these should have been fixed in 7.3.0.

    Regards,
    Rafael

    Hi Rafael,

    This is a based on customer multi-core projects in an external make system. 

    This is for Windows.  Also, this has been seen on multiple PC's now, so not isolated to one setup.

    You can use AM572x EVM as it should provide the same results (and potentially other similar A15 SoC devices).  The issue seems to be isolated to A15 w/GCC tools.  So starting with a single core A15 external project may be a reasonable way to reproduce.

    Let me know if you need additional info.  Thanks for the help.

    Regards,
    Eric

    Eric,

    I am not entirely sure if I can reproduce this issue; please check the (somewhat long) clip below with the procedure of loading code to the A15_0 and finding the corresponding source files for the debug session. 

    I am not very familiar with these examples (nor I have a complete Vision EVM with me), but hopefully that shows an illustration of the behaviour in my system. 

    If your customer is still seeing this issue, perhaps you can ask them to go through the sections 4 and 6 of the CCSv7 Troubleshooting page at:

    http://processors.wiki.ti.com/index.php/Troubleshooting_CCSv7 

    Hope this helps,

    Rafael

    Hi Rafael,

    The video shows exactly the problem we have:
    You have to manually locate the file before setting the breakpoint. If you try to set it before location of the source file the debbugger won't stop on it.

    This problem was also observed on previous releases of CCS (6.x and 7.x).

    Andrzej,

    I really don't know if the debugger was supposed to automatically locate the specific source file, as it is highly dependent on how the debug information was coded in the executable. I will inquiry the debug team but keep in mind this may not be possible to solve without other implications.

    Regards,
    Rafael
