Summary: symbol not found in SiLab IDE for F120

Initial Comment:
I am writing code for an SiLabs F120 using the SiLabs
IDE.  I reached the 2K limit on the Keil and decided to
try SDCC.  Ok I have converted the .h ect and the code
compiles and loads but the IDE will only load #define
labels in to the watch windows. When I rt click on a
XRAM variable I get a dialog box that says
symbol not found
I put –debug in the tool integration and it generates a
map file but I can’t access any of the variable any more. 
What am I missing?

Thanks for getting back so promptly.  My conversion was
simply to copy the SDCC header over top of the Keil .h and
fix my own .h files.  I had tried looking in the symbol
table and the only symbols in the table were from the
ConfigF124.h file I had copied in to the project directory.
 The configuration program provided by SiLabs produces a
source file with #include “ConfigF124.h’ instead of
<ConfigF124.h>. 
In any case the problem turned out to be that I had
installed SDCC in C:\Program Files\SDCC instead of the root.
 The SiLabs IDE does not deal well with “ “ in the path and
reinstalling at C:\SDCC… fixed the problem! 
Any idea why the SiLabs IDE does not activate the Default
option when adding symbols to the watch window when working
with SDCC?

Robert,

First, there was no need to convert the .h as it is 
provided with SDCC.

Second, for debug information you need --debug not -debug. 
All long command line options require two dashes.

Third, this just happens sometimes/often. What usually 
works is to open the Symbol View tab and browse to the 
variable you need. It also helps if you put the source 
files in the SiLabs project workspace whether you compile 
from within the IDE or not.

Maarten
