Cannot perform source level debugging for the section that inside another section

Loadmodule Converter

Problem (condition):
The editor view might not show an address for .src file if two or more sections are defined in a .src file and other section defined in other file is located between these sections.
Disassembly View (Mix mode) does not show source line in this case.

Following cases cause problem.
Case (1)
file1.src : SECTION_A, SECTION_B
file2.src : SECTION_C
Section linkage order : SECTION_A, SECTION_C, SECTION_B
(SECTION_B is not next of SECTION_A.)

Case (2)
file1.src : SECTION_A, SECTION_B
file2.src : SECTION_A
Section linkage order : SECTION_A(file1.src), SECTION_A(file2.src), SECTION_B
(SECTION_B is not next of SECTION_A(file1.src))

Workaround:
Separate .src file for each section that are located at not next address.
Case (1)
file1_1.src : SECTION_A
file1_2.src : SECTION_B
file2.src : SECTION_C

Case (2)
file1_1.src : SECTION_A
file1_2.src : SECTION_B

In some cases the disassembly view does not refresh correctly on suspend. When this problem happens the refresh operation does not fix the problem. To restore the functionality close and re-open the view.

IDE-7419

RL78 on-chip debugging and reserved areas problem

Application

In older versions of e2 studio the RL78 debugger would protect OCD memory areas for the E1 emulator.

However in some cases this would cause issues. This is no longer done and GCC projects will work well. If you are using IAR projects this may cause some problems for your debugging.


A new GDB monitor command has been added to protect/overwrite memory. This will allow the same behavior as e2 studio 3.x.

e.g.
monitor protect_memory, fef00, 100, ff
Any attempt to write to address 0xfef00 to 0xfefff will cause 0xff to be written instead.
A warning message will be shown in the GDB server console window.

This can be added to the initialization commands within the debug configuration for the RL78 E1 emulator.

IDE-7412

Setting RL78 register fails

GDB server RL78

When using RL78 the HL register value cannot be modified in some circumstances.

This will only occur when bank 0 is not selected.
Changing HL value only ever causes Bank 0 HL to change.
View will always show current bank value.
Values not in bank 0 can still be changed by accessing bank registers directly.

IDE-7403

Indexer setting not saved.

CDT

The setting 'Use a fixed build configuration' in the dialog, Properties->C/C++ General->Indexer is not saved when the user checks it.

This can be caused by visiting the properties, modifying the indexer setting and then visiting settings. If you do not visit settings the option is stored correctly.

IDE-7333

1ms refresh interval in expressions using RX Simulator does not work

Real-time Watch
