True Time Debugger, viewing source files

RCD_Dime — Thu, 16 Apr 2009 22:01:33 GMT

I recently took over a project from a CoWorker who left the company. I have successfully debugged several other projects using my current setup but this new one is giving me problems.

When I attempt to debug my application from CodeWarrior the True Time Debugger successfully launches and I'm able to load my software to the target. The assembly and memory windows appear to have valid information in them. The problem is the source window is blank. When I try to open a source file using the Source->Open Source File... menu option I receive a dialog that says "No source file found".

Anyone have any ideas on what I'm doing wrong. I've been pulling my hair out on this one.

Hello

Are debug information generated for the project?

In your .mcp window you have a column headed with a green bug icon.

Make sure you have dots next to each source file in this column.

This indicates that CodeWarrior generates debug info for the corresponding source file.

Look at FAQ-27442 on www.freescale.com for a small screen dump showing how this is looking like

Thanks for the response.

My situation is kind of unique but I did finally figure out what the issue was. My project is comprised of a bootloader and application which were designed as two independant programs. When I compile my application the .abs file for the bootloader is included in the .s19 of the application and this file is downloaded to the target. Then I need to load the symbols for the application manually.

Thanks again for replying.
