Debug problem of CW for 56F800/E v7.3 with driver patch

[Aili]

Hi,

I am using CW v7.3 to debug my 56F803 target board. I can download and run the code. I can also "step in". However, it won't stop at the breakpoint. It also can not stop when I use "run to cursor".  But,  it does stop  if I insert the instruction "debug" in the assembly source code,  or  "asm(debug)" in the c source code.

Is it something related to my target board? My original target board does not have JTAG connector, and it took me hard time to solder a JTAG connector.
When I use a different DSC target board 56F8013DEMO, everything works fine.

Any suggestions?

Thanks

Aili

Hi,

I don't remember problem with the V7.3 debugger.

The new version DSC 8.x is available.

Can I suggest you to try this version ?

You can download the DSC 8.0 on our web site via the link:
http://www.freescale.com/webapp/sps/site/overview.jsp?nodeId=01272600612247

The DSC V8.1.1 is available too.
This is a patch for the DSC8.0 (must be installed in first)
You can download this version on our web site via the link:
http://www.freescale.com/webapp/sps/site/overview.jsp?nodeId=01272600617882140B

You can have several versions installed on the same PC.
There is only one restriction: install them on separate folder.

Hope this will help you.

Hi Pascal,

Thank you for your suggestion. We ordered a 32K version of CW 8.0, but the problem is still there. I found it is related to the user code. I used PE to develop a simple program and found everything are OK. Since I am studying someone else codes, which is kind of complicated for me ( I was a fan of TI CCS, and just started to use CW), so far I still don't know which instructions cause problem. I will update it when I figure out the problem.
