Breakpoints not working after KDS/PEMicro update

[asfarley]

Hi,

I've seen a couple similar error reports but none with exactly these symptoms. 

1) Updated KDS to 3.2.0

2) Updated PEMicro KDS plugin to 3.2.4.201710241511

3) Other packages were automatically updated (GNU ARM compiler etc) although I suspect they're not the root cause

I'm using an MK22FX512VLQ12, Win10 under Mac OSX Parallels 13.

Now, my code will not stop on breakpoints while debugging. This was definitely working before. 

I have confirmed:

• "Skip all breakpoints" is disabled
• I've only added one breakpoint (removed all, then added 1 new breakpoint)
• The initial startup breakpoint is working
• Single-stepping seems to work until I hit a Wait function
• The code with the breakpoint is definitely being executed, confirmed via UART

Anybody else encountering this? Is there a workaround or fix available? (or even a hint about what is causing this?)

I've contacted PEMicro with the same error report, will post back here if I get new information.

asfarley‌  Have you found a solution? I have the same problem with a LPCXpresso54114 in MCU Xpresso IDE

Haven't looked into this again. Can you confirm: are you using a PEMicro Multilink Universal programmer?

I'm using an example of SDK with a typical debugging configuration to see

the correct operation of my MCU. This under the MCUXpresso IDE. But, I

think that my problem is about incorrect debugging process, because the

example is based on FreeRTOS or similar and we have to make a debug over

the OS. See this documentation.

Well, I'm not sure what I was experiencing but my PEMicro Multilink/KDS combination seems to be working again. I'm able to place and hit breakpoints as expected. 

I haven't been using FreeRTOS or thread-aware debugging, so I think we're probably seeing different issues.
