CCS4.2 doesn't reach task breakpoint

Guru 10750 points

Hi,

I'm running a project under CCS4.2, BIOS 5.41.09.34, CGT 7.0.4, I have put a breakpoint in the main task but I can't reach it, I can see that the main() is ended and in the Raw Logs I can see that the main task was running but somehow it is stuck somewhere, any reason for this? The project worked under CCS3.3,

Many Thanks,

HR

  • Hi,

    There are a few cases where the tool changes can cause some issues during initialization.

    From a debugger/CCS perspective the only thing I can think of is the device initialization itself (via the GEL file). To check this you can try to load the .out file generated from CCSv3.3 into CCSv4 debugger and see if you can reach main() or the breakpoint set.

    From a compiler/BIOS perspective, I would try to do some experimentation with the releases used. You can try to do a mix-and-match of the compiler and BIOS releases and see if you reach the results expected. You can use project configurations to create multiple build configurations that use different tools (in CCS help search for project configurations). This way you could migrate your project in calculated steps.

    The forum thread below contains an interesting discussion about migrating BIOS projects between releases.

    Hope this helps,

  • Rafael,

    I redefined the target configuration and it started working, I can't point to what caused the issue,

    Many Thanks,
