RT1160 with VSCode

larsmagne — Tue, 25 Oct 2022 16:16:08 GMT

Hello,

We have a MIMXRT1160-EVK board and want to test it with VSCode, gcc and gdb.

To give it a try we download the latest SDK with the GCC-version of the led_blinky project and the latest gcc tolchain. In VSCode we install plugins for Cmake/Ninja, C/C++ and Cortex-Debug(GDB).

Compiling linking and downloading seems to work fine, but GDB will not run the program.

Here is what we did:
To make VSCode compile the project we add the following line into CmakeLists.txt:
set(CMAKE_TRY_COMPILE_TARGET_TYPE "STATIC_LIBRARY")

Then we got:

[build] Memory region Used Size Region Size %age Used

[build] m_interrupts: 1 KB 1 KB 100.00%

[build] m_text: 25036 B 255 KB 9.59%

[build] m_data: 2280 B 256 KB 0.87%

[build] m_data2: 0 GB 64 KB 0.00%

[build] Build finished with exit code 0

We use jlink and the jlink script file from the example code.
In VSCode launch.json we add the following section:

"configurations": [

{

"name": "NC4 Core",

"type": "cortex-debug",

"device": "MIMXRT1166XXX6_M7",

"request": "launch",

"interface": "swd",

"servertype": "jlink",

"runToEntryPoint": "main",

"jlinkscript":"${workspaceRoot}/cm7/evkmimxrt1160_connect_cm4_cm7side.jlinkscript",

"cwd": "${workspaceRoot}/cm7/armgcc/Debug",

"executable": "iled_blinky_cm7.elf",

But GDB fail to jump to main.

Hopefully anyone can help us with the trick to succeed with this setup:)

Hi @larsmagne ,

We haven't demos or experience on VScode. I also haven't RT1160 on hand. To fast repeat the phenomenon I import RT1064 demo project into MCUXpresso and compile it. Then I create VScode project in the direction. I try to use VScode to debug.

This is settings.json

{

"python.pythonPath": "C:\\Users\\nxf32199\\AppData\\Local\\Continuum\\anaconda3\\pythonw.exe",

"cmake.configureOnOpen": true,

"cortex-debug.armToolchainPath": "C:\\Program Files (x86)\\GNU Arm Embedded Toolchain\\10 2021.07\\bin",

"makefile.makefilePath": "C:\\Users\\nxf32199\\mcuxpresso\\02\\SDKPackages\\SDK_2_11_1_EVK-MIMXRT1064\\boards\\evkmimxrt1064\\demo_apps\\hello_world\\armgcc",

"makefile.makePath": "cmake"

}

This is launch.json

"version": "0.2.0",

"configurations": [

{

"cwd": "${workspaceRoot}/Debug",

"executable": "./evkmimxrt1064_iled_blinky.axf",

"name": "Debug with JLink",

"request": "launch",

"interface": "swd",

"type": "cortex-debug",

"device": "RT1064",

"runToEntryPoint": "main",

"showDevDebugOutput": "none",

"jlinkscript":"${workspaceRoot}/evkmimxrt1064_sdram_init.jlinkscript",

"servertype": "jlink"

}

]

To my surprise it can debug and stop at main().

I installed these extension

Jing
