CW debugger stops in random places, breakpoint list empty.

[admin]

Hi, I have a problem with CodeWarrior debugging (DSP56800E). It stops the application in some random lines of code (each time when I run it, they are the same). The breakpoint list is empty. I did not change any settings - it just happened after one of compilations. It's not fault of the USB tap (i checked the program on two of them - it's the same on both) and it's not because of problem with Code Warrior (I run the project on other PC with CW - and it's the same). It seems that something is wrong with the project settings. I don't feel like creating a new project, because I use plenty of files and beans (around 130 files and 30 beans), and it would take forever to create a new project with them. So I have two questions: 1. What can I do to get rid of the invisible break-points? 2. Is there any way how to export ALL the beans and the files structure to another project? Thanks! Bartek

Hi,

All breakpoints should be listed in the breakpoints dialog.

Do you reproduce the same behavior with the simulator ?

Is it possible to provide us the project ?

Do you use an eval board ? which one ?

Probably it will be better we investigate the problem via the CRM system.

Please provide us more details about the Tool version used.
To do that you must:
