S32 Design Studio 2018.R1 Issue - NO call trace for GHS

[sabeelmohamedkh]

Hi

I am facing the following issue with S32 Design studio 2018.R1, when debugging with GHS compiled ELF files

- Call trace is not observed upon break points 

- I have tried both comp_201514 and comp_201714 versions.

The call trace for GCC is working but GHS is not working in the design studio.

Can you please share on resolving this issue, as debugging time is lot without call trace support

Thanks

Hi Sabeel,

Thanks for your report.

I assume you are using GHS generated elf file with GDB (P&E) or Segger.

There is a known issue with ghs compiler that causes some debugging issues under GDB.

Please check this comment:

See below snippet from the S32DS ARM 2018.R1 release notes:

"Due to limitation of GDB debugging support for binaries built with GreenHills compiler the support only Lauterbach debugger for such projects."

Hope it helps.
