When building on macOS you may see "fcntl(): Bad file descriptor" appear in the build console.

You can avoid these errors by going to "C/C++ Build → Behavior" in the project properties, selecting "Use custom build arguments" and setting the build arguments to "-r -jN" where "N" is the number of parallel build processes to use. This may however result in false build errors and warnings to show in the problems view & at the end of the build console.

Installation for all users and running e2 studio from installer can cause problems with access to support files and workspace locations.

This issue occurs when a local administration user installs e2 studio and runs for the first time. If this user also creates a workspace subsequent different users with lower privileges may experience problems when trying to open that workspace.

Depending on installation configuration you may see an error like "Error extracting synergy support files".

To avoid this issue subsequent users should create a new workspace.

If copying a project with it’s build output directory been Windows & Linux, or moving it to a new location, you need to do a clean and rebuild to avoid build errors.

If storing a project under version control avoid including the build output directories. At a minimum exclude the *.d files which may contain system specific paths.

Affected device families:Synergy

When debugging with the Segger J-link with ARM devices such as RA, when you set "Reset before download" to Yes, the reset operation does not take place.

Affected device families:RZ

When debugging RZ devices, if a reset is invoked, when PC is on a breakpoint which is on the external memory where can’t be accessed on the reset state, the further debugging may fail. In this case, reset the program after removing the breakpoint, or use Restart instead of Reset with the command "set breakpoint enable-memread 0" (Please specify the command at "Initialization Commands" on Startup of the debug configuration).

Affected device families:RZ

When debugging RZ devices, if debug view shows data which is located on the area where is not readable on reset, the next resume/step operation may cause a disconnection of the debugging. Please close the view until the area is readable.

When the program need to be reset, please use 'Break at' for the address where the area is readable on the startup tab, and use 'restart' instead of reset to run the program to enable the debugger to read the memory.

Affected device families:RZ

For the RZ/T2M device e2 studio does not support semihosting with the E2 emulator

Affected device families:RZ

When debugging, if a variable which can’t be accessed on reset is added to Expressions view, the next connection or resume may fail. In this case, please disable the variable on the Exressions view before connection or reset.

For example, the variable is located at external memory area and the area is disabled on reset and if the memory access for the disabled area causes an exception in the device, this issue will happen.

Affected device families:RZ

Debug connection may fail due to time out when downloading a large program.

In this case, please reconfigure the time out setting of GDB in [Preferences] dialog.

Please follow below steps to reconfigure the time out setting of GDB

Debugging on Linux with RZT_FSP v1.2.0 for RZ/T2M or RZ/T2L is not supported.

Affected device families:RZ

When debugging RZ devices, PC will not stop at an address of reset vector on reset. Program will run in a short time after reset, and then, the program will be halted.

If the program is built for RAM debugging (without using boot loader), the program will not run after reset correctly. In this case, please re-download the program (please don’t forget to set "Reset after reload" option to 'No' on Debug Configuration) after reset, or disconnect the debugging and re-connect.

Affected device families:RX

If the option "RTOS Integration in Debug View" is set to 'Yes' on the debug configuration for RX, the debugging session may be terminated if a step is invoked when the active debug context is not main thread. Please use the option as 'No'.

Affected device families:RX

When using Smart Configurator project with GCC RX toolchain, the --gc-sections setting is unchecked when generating code.

If you wish to enable --gc-sections setting, please check this article https://llvm-gcc-renesas.com/wiki/index.php?title=RX_automatic_interrupt_vector_entry_usage to make sure it does not remove interrupt service routines.

When using e2 studio 2024-10 and later version with FreeRTOS IoT package v202210.01-LTS-rx-1.3.1 and older version, you may observe build error related to undefined reference to `uart_string_printf'.

To workaround for this issue, after generating code at Smart Configurator, please open src/frtos_config/FreeRTOSConfig.h file and change value of configPRINT_STRING macro from uart_string_printf to vOutputString.

This issue is fixed at FreeRTOS IoT package v202210.01-LTS-rx-1.3.2 and later version.

Affected device families:RX RA

When working with an RTOS project, it is essential that all threads are executed at least once after creation. Attempting to step into a thread that has not yet been run can terminate the debug session.

In certain situations the errors that are displayed after a build will overlap the source line in the editor window. If this occurs scrolling the editor view up or down seems to resolve this.

If this becomes a common occurrence it is possible to stop this happening by switching off the code mining option.

This is available in the Window→Preferences page. In the section General→Editors→Text Editors. The option to switch off is named Show code minings for problem annotations. Change this setting to None.

Affected device families:RX RL

Using Optimization Assistant Time measurement with GCC RX may cause the measurement unable to finish. The end address of function build from GCC RX may be different with the one in Disassembly view so Optimization Assistant cannot reach the end of function. If the measurement is too long to finish or unable to finish, just press "Cancel" to stop measurement.

Affected device families:RA

When installing the platform installer for RA on Windows you may experience issues with GCC toolchain compilation if e2 studio is installed in a long path. Examples problems include not being able to find system include header files.

The workaround for this issue is to install e2 studio in shorter directory structure.

e.g.

c:\users\username\appdata\local\programs\renesas\e2_studio\toolchains\gcc_arm\arm-gnu-toolchain-12.2.mpacbti-rel1-mingw-w64-i686-arm-none-eabi

Affected device families:RA

Disconnect an RA board with the "Continue" option (allowing the user code to execute after disconnecting from JLink) does not work when using semihosting.

To work around this make sure you have conditional code for when the debugger is not connected, e.g.

semihosting_printf( …​ )

{

}

#if semihosting

#else

#endif

Additionally, the use of an updated hard-fault handler to catch this situation would also help.
