Hi, I'm looking for some editing tools for elf/dwarf file format; or .obj file format if possible. My reason is that i need to modify some debugging information in the file. Please recommend any free/commercial tools if you happen to know. Thanks, Banh

I've been playing with a PIC24FJGA002: a 16-bit, 16 MIPS PIC in a 28-pin DIP with 8KB RAM. Here are some quick-start hints: Programming: I bought a cheap ICD2 clone from ebay, one from www.mdfly.com They don't advertise that it works with this chip, but it does for both programming and debugging. However, you need to make your own programming socket (or do in-circuit). Unlike older PI...

I am using Freescale MPC5566 Evaluation board with CodeWarrior 5.9.0. I am quite new to this board and I am trying to execute a code from the MPC internal Flash. I use P&E Micro for debugging purposes. I opened a new 5566 project from CW. It automatically generated all the configuration files. I did not change any of those. I only modified the main.c file by initializing a GPIO. I use the GPIO to...

Hi everybody! I have some trouble with the OKI 675001: I'm using this part now for about 3 month, debugging and programming an extern Flash (AM29LV320) via JTAG. Never had any problems. Now after changing the code and burning it as usual into the FlashROM the MCU is no longer responding to JTAG. Furthermore no activity on the MCU bus. OK, i thought that some ESD distroyed the MPU and took a ...

So far I've been debugging using simple text output on USART s or LCD etc. I'd like to get into using the Insight debugger and go the whole hog and use the JTAG interface. The Atmel JTAGICE is too expensive so I need one of the cheaper alternatives. I'd be interested to hear anyone's thoughts on a reliable, cost effective JTAG interface which is compatible with Insight. Also, put simply...

Hi, I am a beginner at using the atmega chip. I am using codevision to compile, AVR bootloader V2.1 to execute my program, but for troubleshooting, my AVR Studio 4 is not working correctly. When I open my project to debug, it does not list my source files. I want to be able to step through my program and check where it breaks. I seem to only be able to see the disassembler. I can open my...

Anyone know of a single wire interface suitable for debugging (+ ground of course) ? Is it possible to "compress" JTAG to a single wire ? Are there other standards that could be used ? Any vendors (Semi vendors) offer this already ? Thanks in advance, HGH

We made our firct C-code for the PIC environment in MP-IDE and of course it doesn't work. So now we wish to apply the debugger on it, but find ourselves unable to see our code in it. In the main MP-IDE menu, we select 'view', then 'watch', and according to the tutorial, should then be able to add symbols. However the "add symbol" tab is greyed out, so that we can only go select the CPU-reg...

I am looking into the MSP430 series of microcontrollers for a project. I have surveyed the tools and I found the following companies make C compilers for it: 1. Quadravox 2. IAR 3. Rowley & Associates 4. HiTech 5. ICC430 6. MSPGCC (free) Hardware/JTAG debugging toolwise I see: 1. Softbaugh (USBP(E), USBPPRO) 2.

Dear all, I am currently working in on a consumer electronics device.We are in the process of debugging few bugs in the software which does the work of displaying menus and controlling the hardware of the device.I happened to go through the architecture of the software.What makes me wonder is there are 2 RTOS used in this device.One rtos is ucos and another is OS20 a proprietoty RTOS to r...

Hello All, I am using IAR C/C++ compiler for MSP430. In the project I am sending some data through MSP430 to another chip through I2C.I have made MSP430 as slave. While debugging I want to change manually the contains of I2CRB through register window,but its not allowing me to do,again the contains will come to its default value. I found in the header file supplied with the IAR package of MS...

I am charged with a holy crusade of debugging a 100bT Ethernet interface of unknown functionality, and the information I've been given suggests that there is an analog problem in the media interface. Can someone point me to any kind of preliminary tests I can perform to determine "out-of-specedness" using standard lab tools; scope, DMM, etc? Googling leads me to lots of hellishly expensive ...

I am developing a high-performance 8051 IP, I encounter the debugging problem when the system code is large. At my system, the program is storaged in the external Flash which is addressed by banking mechanism. Due to the monitor-51 can't set break-point within the Flash area. To accerelate the project progression, an efficiency debgging tool is necessary. Based on the current environment, ...

I'm working with an STM32F205, which I can program and debug with an ST-LINK V2 and the SWD port. I'm using IAR EWARM 6.40 and the C-Spy debugger. Programming, run, stop, breakpoints, etc, all work fine. However, when I set up for SWO debugging, the SWO icon reports that it is set up properly, but I never get any profiling data in the window. The O-scope shows regular activity on the S...

During the prototyping and debugging phase of a project (Not production) should the Engineers and Lab Techs be extremely ESD conscious (i.e. wear ESD straps, ESD smocks, etc)? I've worked for 4 different companies and it is about a 50/50 split between ESD protection in the lab and not worrying about it. One employer's philosophy was "If a part has a high ESD sensitivity it is better to f...

I'm getting a Data Abort error - I'm trying to get the full call stack. The IAR tools say the call stack is unavailable after the exception, is there a way around this? I'm thinking I could painfully recostruct stack frames, but it seems like the tool should do it -

Hi, I am using a spartan 3 xc3s4000 FPGA in my custom design which is interfaced with national gigabit PHYs DP83865dvh. It is actually an Ethernet mac and the design is like this: PHY A FPGA PHY B The problem is that sometimes, not always, i get one or two packet drops when i put the systems on test. I tested only one unit using chariot for throughput, no packet drops. But when i

Hi All, I'm starting a new embedded control project soon, it looks fairly simple so far, read some analog and digital inputs and provide some PRM, digital & serial RS485 outputs. Sampling at about 10Hz should be sufficient. I'm thinking a lower speed 16 or 32bit CPU will do the job. I'd like to use a CPU which: supports source level debugging & fast code download for rapid turn aro...
