Compiler/CC2530: Debugging SampleLight Coordinator

Part Number: CC2530

Tool/software: TI C/C++ Compiler

Hello everyone,
I am trying to build a simple zigbee network through IAR and using only CCDebugger and 2 CC2530_CORE as 1 is the coordinator and the other is the end device.
So at first I am trying to debug the sample application SampleLight to my CC2530_CORE. But after I erased my chip and started "Download and debug". The program works fine until it is in the debug mode. The arrow points at int main() at ZMain.c. But when I clicked Step Over or Next Statement or anything, the debug stopped (or maybe it will run forever). I can't see any arrow anymore so I don't know how to debug and see if the program works. Plus, I don't have any EV board like SmartRF05.
Thanks.

It looks OK from your screen shot. You can try to set some breakpoints to see if IAR can stops on those breakpoints and also try to set optimization level to medium or low to test again.

Hello,

But when I choose Step Into to get into the main function it just appear nothing. The cursor is lost. Is the debug still running because I have waited for it about 10 mins and it still doesn't change. I also try to set some breakpoints but I still doesn't appear anything.

Which function do you try to step into?

At first the cursor points at int main (void) so I think when I choose Step Into it will go into "main" function? Is it right?

No, you just need to do step over.

Actually I tried all kinds of step and it just appeared nothing like Step Into.

Try to set a breakpoint on osal_nv_init and hit go to see it it stops there.

My result:

If you set breakpoint on first line, osal_int_disable, can it hit?

Sorry for the late reply.
The result is still the same. It can't hit.

What IAR version do you use?

I use IAR Workbench for 8051. Actually my license manager can't extract the IAR Library Source for 8051. But I still can debug simple programs such as "Hello World".

Try to download trial version of IAR EW8051 without size limitation to test.
