IDE-24290

Imported legacy GNU project lacks start group linker option

RL78 GCC build plugin

When importing older legacy RL78 GCC projects into e2 studio in some cases the linker option: "-Wl--start-group" is missing. This option should be added at import project.

Workaround is to directly write the start group option in the linker "Command line pattern" in the linker build option settings.

IDE-24190

Import legacy project with Japanese build mode name configuration

Project Generation Core

When importing user-created configurations with Japanese names after importing into e2 studio the configuration names are reverted to English.

The TB_S3A6 & TB_S5D5 are breakdown with IAR building problem

Renesas Synergy

When converting from a project building with the IAR v7.x builder to using the IAR v8.x builder problems can occur.

It has been noted that in some situations the linker file points to an incorrect linker file.

e.g.

After importing the project, the Linker configuration file is set to "${workspace_loc:/${ProjName}/script/S5D5.

When switching the tool chain to 8.x the linker configuration file is set to ${sdkLocation}/config/generic.icf

Changing the linker file path back to the originally selected one should resolve this build error.

When measuring Profile with RH850, wrong measurement result may be displayed.
Profile measures based on Trace data, but there is no problem with Trace data.

IDE-22266

Cannot start e2studio image due to Code Generator .Net Framework Exception

Code Generator plugin

This issue can occur when using multiple versions of e2 studio of the same version. If e2 studio is installed in one location and then another installation of the same version is installed on the same machine, then the older installation is deleted or moved.

The code generator component which is registered in the registry no longer exists. This will cause problems with the other e2 studio installation as it will try and use the code generator component as defined in the registry. To avoid this run the tools within the Code Generator plugin directory of the e2 studio you are trying to launch.

e.g.
C:\Renesas\e2_studio\eclipse\plugins\com.renesas.cg_2.11.0.v20180601-1047\CodeGenerator\Tools\

First run "Unregister COM.bat" and then run "register COM.bat".
This should solve the problem and allow e2 studio to work correctly.

IDE-22184

IDE-19310

[Profile] Displayed data is not reliable If Trace view is OFF

GDB Server RH850, GDB server RL78, GDB server RX

If the Trace view is off, the Trace capacity (will be also used for Profile) is set to default (usually, this is the minimum capacity). This then means that the Profile data is not reliable.

To work around this issue you can set the Trace capacity to maximum even if Trace view is off. When turning on the Trace view again it will use the previous setting rather than the default.

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.

IDE-18623

[RL78 G10] Strange behavior with Breakpoint at top main on G10 hardware debug

Debug Configuration RL78, Project Generation Core

In case of using RL78, hardware breakpoint is realized by execution address after PC. This will cause several issues:
 - Temporary hardware breakpoint will not be removed after the breakpoint is hit. Therefore, the breakpoint will always hit. Please remove the temporary breakpoint manually after the breakpoint hits.
 - If "Set breakpoint at" is specified in the debug configuration for RL78/G10, program will always break at the specified address. Please do not specify the "Set breakpoint at" in this case.

Visual Expressions plugin

When debugging more than one project simultaneously Realtime Update will not work when any project is suspended.

IDE-16874

Cannot connect to RZ if "Image Only" is selected as Load Image

Debug Configuration ADAS, Debug Configuration RZ

When writing the PC register, GDB needs to know in what mode it is ARM or Thumb.

Usually this is obtained from the symbol information but since the symbols are not loaded ("image only") GDB tries to obtain this from the cpsr value from current frame. However, in this case there is no frame information which causes an error.

There is a workaround, we can tell GDB what mode we are running so it doesn't try to read the cpsr register:

set arm fallback-mode (arm|thumb|auto)

GDB uses the symbol table, when available, to determine whether instructions are ARM or Thumb. This command controls GDB’s default behavior when the symbol table is not available. The default is ‘auto’, which causes GDB to use the current execution mode (from the T bit in the CPSR register).

This can be added to the GDB startup commands in the debug configuration.

IDE-16830

The "Project Upgrade Required" pop-up does not appear on subsequent imports of the same project

Managed Build

In some cases, the disassembly view does not refresh correctly on suspend. When this problem happens refreshing the disassembly view 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.
