GNU Arm Embedded Toolchain

TMS570 - GDB and TI flash API lib issue - frozen debugging

Asked by JiriJ

Dear all,

we have encountered an issue - already decribed in the TI forum:

there is an issue during the debugging by GDB (in Eclipse). When the program run does enter/call code of any F021 API functions, an error occurs. An error window pops up but does not provide any further information. The debuf session gets frozen and the TMS570 target is disconnected, of course.

The same error window does appear when objdump is processing the elf file...

Tool / lib versions:

F021_API_CortexR4_BE_V3D16.lib v2.00.00 Build(000809) - Beta v2.00.00 Build(000809) - Beta

GNU Tools for ARM Embedded Processors 4.6.2 20121016

I have also tried another build toolchain yagarto-20121222 with the same results :-/

Thanks in advance,

Best regards

Jiri

After read the forum, I think the TI LIB isn't produced by this tool chain. Although I can reproduce that "objdump -S" will crash, it seems you have already found a workaround.

Hi Terry,

yes, we can confirm the workaround made by Jiri D. works properly ;-)

Thanks and cheers,
