I am using Freemaster to monitor variables at 8kHz on the MKV58F1M0VLQ24 MCU. I am using Kinetis Design Studio V3.2.0 with Processor Expert. I am having an issue in which my application is getting randomly corrupted indicated by seemingly random variables being set to extremely high (e+37) or low (e-37) values and typically the system trips.
The issue only happens when I have Freemaster connected. I have narrowed it down to a single line of code in which I declare a variable as "volatile". I use the volatile declaration in this case because the variable is a constant threshold and I just want the compiler to make it accessible to Freemaster so that I can manually adjust it via Freemaster without having to recompile the code.
If I remove the "volatile" in the declaration, the corruption issue goes away, but I can no longer use Freemaster to control the variable because the compiler removes the variable as it is just used as a constant. This is not the only place in which I use a volatile variable in a logical comparison, so it makes no sense that this one would cause a problem.
Looking through Processor Expert I see that the Freemaster Component Inspector asks to select the version of Freemaster being used, but the only options are 1.6 and 1.9. I am using 2.0.5.1. I would like to try using 1.6 or 1.9 to see if the issue goes away. Does anyone know where I can get it?
Hello,
I recommend you may try to use 2.0.7 to see if problem still exist or not. Download here:
