RZ Project generator, global variables not initialized

Project Generator GCC RZ

In the new generated GCC ARM Embedded project, global variables will be initialized with and without -fdata-sections option.

 

For the existing GCC ARM Embedded projects, you may need to add an wildcard description *(.data.*) in the linker script.

 

IDE-18830

IO Registers accessed with disregard for initial setup of register

IO view plugin

There is an issue that the reset values of a peripheral register that were different than the user manual was stating.

The root cause is that the IO register view in the debugger does not validate the MSTP register settings before presenting the data for the peripheral that is being viewed.

IDE-18748

RL78 Plug-in Fails in Debug Mode Unless Code Generator is added to Project

IAR plugins

When creating a IAR RL78 project (v3.10.1) for the E1 emulator and the RL78 G14 device the debugger connection does not work correctly.

 

As a workaround adding the code generator to the project and setting the debugger to "Used" will configure the start-up code and project to be debugged successfully.

 

The IAR ILINK command file provides #define __RESERVE_OCD_ROM to allocate ROM area for debugging, however adding this into the settings still does not allow a successful connection.

IDE-18746

When changing the device in the Synergy configurator the project is not updated in the Smart Browser

Application

Changing the device in the Synergy editor does not refresh the selected device in the Smart Browser plugin. Manually refreshing the Smart Browser plugin does not fix this issue.

 

To remedy the issue please change the device, close the e2 studio application and re-start it. Then the Smart Browser will have the correct device set.

IDE-18745

Unable to run Smart Demo project creation in languages other than English

Smart Demo

When using an operating system other than English the Smart Demos will not operate correctly.

 

In a subsequent version localised demonstration scripts will be provided.

[RZ/T1 Debug] Step into behaves strange on RZ/T1

Debugging RZ

When debugging with RZ/T1 in certain situations you may experience problems stepping:


If the following conditions are met:

 
1. Code is located close to address 0x0 
2. There is very little library code included into the project 
3. There are unused functions in the program 

The possibility arises that the code cannot be debugged. This due to --gc-sections linker option which removes the unused functions but not the related debug information.

There are several solutions to this problem: 
a. disable --gc-sections until those functions are used 
b. remove the unused functions

[Expression] RL78/G10: Global variable and local variable show incorrect data

TargetInformationTool

For RL78/G10 devices there can be issues where global variables and local variables are showing incorrect data.

This is due to some problems with the linker sections. GCC uses 24 bytes of memory (0xFFEC8 to 0xFFEE0) as pseudo registers. In the attached project the stack begins at FFED8 (0xFFEC8 < FFED8 < 0xFFEE0) and grows down overlapping with this area of memory.

IDE-9533

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
file2.src : SECTION_A

Headless Build error with Synergy project

Renesas Synergy

When using the eclipsec.exe tool and running headless builds it is possible to see an error created as seen below:

A message box is displayed that states “An error has occurred. See the log file <name>.log”

This is due to the eclipsec.exe not picking up the correct Java version. To work around this issue please copy eclipse.ini to eclipsec.ini and execute the headless build again.

CCRX: Warning dialog shows many times on Turkish OS when input 'i' key for e2 studio location

CCRX Build plugin

Problem:
An error occurs by project operation when a non-ASCII character was used for the file name or the folder name.

Workarounds:
Please don't use non-ASCII characters for the file name or the folder name.

IDE-7498

Multi-byte chars should be denied as Build-Debug configuration name

Application

Multi-byte characters can cause a compilation failure when used as a build configuration name in e2 studio.
Therefore, multi-byte characters should NOT be applied to debug/build configuration names.

Note: This issue affect both for configuration management dialog and the configuration creation dialog of Optimization Assistant.

IDE-7423

Disassembly view does not always update on initial opening

CDT

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

When using the RX Simulator with real-time expressions if you use 1ms real-time interval the expression view goes blank. On suspend, e2 studio appears to hang while messages are processed.

Reverting the interval to 10ms works well.

IDE-7298

Those breakpoints can be removed in Breakpoints View.

IDE-3928

Editor and Compiler default input character code should match

CCRX Build plugin

By default the e2 studio editor character code is set to UTF-8. This means it is possible to enter characters that are then not supported by default by the CCRX toolchain.
CCRX default input is SJIS.

To enable UTF-8 for the toolchain you must first select C99 support.

IDE-3626

Trace Record Eventpoints do not seem to be removed during a session

GDB server RL78, Trace plugin

[BREAKPOINT ISSUE]: Execution Address Eventpoints with trigger count do not work with Breakpoints on Segger RX

GDB server RX

Execution Address Eventpoints with trigger count do not work with Breakpoints on Segger RX.
Setting an execution address eventpoint with a trigger count on Segger JLink RX62N is not possible if any breakpoints exist, including the default at main.
If an execution address eventpoint with a trigger count is set with a breakpoint both the eventpoint & the breakpoint do not function. Multiple breakpoints are set then only 1 does not work. Additional eventpoints function as normal.
