How to debug two .elf files with CW for MCU 10.6.4

Hey,

 

while developing software for the MPC5668G, I get two .elf files. One for the z6 core and one for the z0 core. How can I download them to the specific core and debug the software with CW for MCU 10.6.4.?

 

Thanks for your help.

Tim

Hello Tim

If you would like to load two .elf files into CW debugger. Please open the debugger configuration window, and under the ’Debugger’ tab, please select ‘Other Executables’. This option allows you to specify a second .elf file with symbols to download.

Hey Fiona,

thanks for your reply. I've followed your instruction but still he loads the same files on the cores (see picture).

What do I have to fill in the field Download path for the second file when it is intended for the second core (core1)?

Hello Tim,

if you created basic project for MPC5668G in CodeWarrior, you have just one elf file. The EPPC core0 and core1 just show you, which core are you currently debugging. If you look to the project folder, you will find only one elf and map file.

Hello Martin,

I develop with another IDE and there I get two elf files. One for core0 and one for core1. And then I want to debug with CW. So it is important to load the specific files to each core.

Best regards,

Hi Tim,

I have just created document, which describes the process how to flash two .elf files using CW10.6.

Flash two .elf files using CodeWarrior 10.6

But remember, you have to have correctly configured linker file. If don't, it is possible that the code from first .elf will be overwritten by code from second .elf.
