Ignore interrupts when stepping the debugger

[twp]

Using CW 10.5 is it possible to configure the debugger to ignore interrupts while stepping?  I see this is possible using the classic IDE from the following post:

Hi Twp,

Unfortunately there is no option to disable interrupts when stepping available in CW MCUs v10.5 for e200. This request has been already logged a feature request under the number ENGR00229357.

You can e.g. manually control EE bit in MSR register in the Register View to enable/disable interrupts as a workaround.

If you need the interrupt handlers running on the background while stepping you can use "Run To Line" (Ctrl+R) and manually move line (cursor) at next code line as a workaround

Hope it helps.

Yes, it is there since MCU10.2 (MCU10.2 is here! Or: 4 t-shirts in 13 weeks… | MCU on Eclipse):

see attached screenshot: it is in the debug/launch configuration under 'interrupts'.

That's where I would expect it to be, but I don't have that tab:

Is this due to using a PnE MultiLink or is this due to the processor type MPC5643L?

That setting is specific to each architecture. Looks like it is not implemented for PowerPC.

Any suggestions for a work around?  It makes it very difficult to debug without that setting as the thread stack looses the last code position when jumping in to an interrupt, Codewarrior also seems to close the file containing the code at the deepest point of the call stack.

I'm sorry, I'm not using PowerPC, and do not have a workaround. Only that you might disable the interrupts with a script (Debugger shell) maybe?
