#63 J-Link Breakpoints
[ilg: the problem was related to an old CDT version; the user upgraded to the latest CDT and the problem was solved]
I'm trying to set a brakpoint in some lines in my code , but after loading the code to Microcontroller the GDB remove my breakpoints. The only one that realy work is the main breakpoint. I've looked for something in the google and I've found that emIDE(http://emide.org - Added command at start of debug session to not temporarily remove breakpoints.) had the same problem. I already added the command (monitor flash breakpoints = 1) in the GDB Client->Command, but don't solve the problem. Can you help me?
This is the console log.

Discussion
from what I see in the log, the flash breakpoints are enabled, so this shouldn't be a problem.
unfortunately I do not have a LPC1768 board available, so I cannot test, but I guess you missed something. if execution stops in main(), can you set a new breakpoint at this moment?
the log file reveals some accesses to ram (0x2009C070), are you sure the memory map in the linker scripts matches the processor?
Hi Liviu,
My processor have two internal RAM regions, as you can see bellow in my mem.ld file:
MEMORY
{
FLASH (rx) : ORIGIN = 0x00000000, LENGTH = 512K
RAM (rwx) : ORIGIN = 0x10000000, LENGTH = 32k
RAM1 (rwx) : ORIGIN = 0x2007C000, LENGTH = 32k
}
I've made a test removing the second internal SRAM memory region, but the problem stays. In the disassembly windows I've seen that address at 0x00000404 is the main() function address, then I believe that after reach tha main() the debugger remove it because it is a temporary breakpoint. As I can see now, any breakpoint is working with J-Link except the breakpoint to main().
Yes, I can set break points but they doesn't work. This is so strange because I've made some tests with emIDE to figure out how your debugger it set and it works perfectly!
Something is wrong because one guy posted a support ticket about debugging problem and in your picture I seen that the breakpoint was sent to GDB server.
Thanks.

I have difficulties to understand you. My plug-in just starts the J-Link GDB server with the parameters you selected and then initializes the GDB client, but the actual debugging session is performed by Eclipse via the GDB client and the GDB server; if you miss something during inits, it might not work.
I advise you start the GDB server separately and then use the standard GDB Hardware Debugging plug-in. When you reach a conclusion how to configure both the server and the client, then try to use the same configuration with the J-Link plug-in.
any progress on this?
Sorry about the long delay. I've tested in a virtual machine running WIN7x32 and by this manner the breakpoints worked fine. Really I don't know why it didn't worked in the real machine rinnung WIN7x64.
I don't think that it has to do with 32 vs 64, it must be something else wrong with your Eclipse and/or usb drivers, if you install a fresh copy it will probably work
Hi,
I have a similiar problem with breakpoints.
My HW:
Target: IAR LPC178x-SK with LPC 1788FBD208
Debugger: Olimex ARM-USB-OCD (15ba:0003) driver by openocd-0.9.0-dev-swd-140623233947 (tested by 0.4.0, 0.5.0, 0.6.1, 0.7.0 and 0.8.0 also)
In Eclipse I have presetted two ways for debug:
First One are working perfectly (I Mean breakpoints). But second one, working without any chance to set breakpoint (system set one temporary breakpoint to main - it's working).
User can't set breakpoint -> debugger don't stop.
In Log file I see:
"Note: automatically using hardware breakpoints for read-only addresses.
No source file named C:Documents and SettingspeterjMy DocumentsgitARM-FNET-LPC-1788-SKARM-FNET-LPC-1788-SKmain.c."
-- where are '\' characters ?? Path is not correct!
I think, this is a problem. (for GDB OpenOCD Debugging)
What do you think?
Screen shots you can find in attachment.
One for GDB Hardware Debugging, Second for GDB OpenOCD Debugging and last for external tool (OpenOCD have to start before use GDB Hardware Debugging).
ed.
can you activate the openocd log and run the two sessions, the one which works and the one which fails, using exactly the same configurations and executable, and try to spot the differences?
Yes,
log files you can find in attachment.
Situation:
Start debugger, download .elf file and run till to first breakpoint in main (temporary) and second run till to user breakpoint (fnet_main.c [line: 84], address 0x0000f4f2)
Result:
GDB_Hardware_Debugging.log - all breakpoint are working
GDB_OpenOCD_Debugging.log - first break working, second breakpoint not working
File compare using fc:
"Comparing files GDB_OpenOCD_Debugging.log and GDB_HARDWARE_DEBUGGING.LOG
Resync Failed. Files are too different."

I just noticed that for the Hardware Debugging case you used the Legacy GDB Hardware Debugging Launcher. Please select the new DSF and redo the test.
DSF not working!
Same situation as in GDB OpenOCD Debugging :-(
Good solution is GDB Hardware Debugging only (with selected Legacy GDB Debugging hardware).
log file in attachment.

my plug-in just starts openocd and then used DSF to launch the debug session.
openocd is notorious for subtle bugs, probably one of them affects it when running under DSF.
Problem will be between eclipse and DSF (DSF is part of which plugin?), I think....
Path to .elf is parsed without slash '/' into DSF.

Last edit: EdizonTN 2014-08-05
DSF is part of the Eclipse core debug.
Regarding paths, I do not use Windows, so all my paths use the standard slash separator, and never had problems.
Ouuuu,
problem can be in the path to workspace. Must be without space chars!

Thank Liviu for your support.
I was upgrade Eclipse CDT to version 8.4.0.201406111759 (http://download.eclipse.org/tools/cdt/releases/8.4) and problem with breakpoints has been solved!
Maybe as help for others....

ok, good luck with your ARM projects.
