IDE-25312

Renesas Synergy

Semihosting does not work with GCC 7.2

The default created GCC project in e2 studio for RZ and Synergy will not work with semi-hosting when using a GCC 7.x toolchain. This is due to semi-hosting being revised to v2, , presented in this document: https://developer.arm.com/docs/100863/latest/introduction.

Launchpad toolchains v7.2 or newer, provide an upgraded semihosting v2 implemented in syscalls.c, which is provided by the newlib libraries. When the function initialise_monitor_handles() tries to identify features, a new mechanism introduced in semihosting v2, it will cause the debugger to provide incorrect answer, prompting semihosting to close stdout, stdin handlers and stalling the processor.

1. use syscalls replacement code provided in the eclipse plugin, which is guaranteed to work. We can achieve this by copying to project sources "_syscalls.c" and "semihosting.h" from <EclipseInstallFolder>\eclipse\plugins\ilg.gnumcueclipse.templates.core<PluginVersion>\templates\common\system. Additionally, in project properties, Compiler settings the language standard must be changed to gnu99, as well as an additional define must be added OS_USE_SEMIHOSTING. Finally removing from linker flags –specs=rdimon.specs will allow the project to compile and semihosting work as intended.

2. Identify the library used in your project and replace it with an older library. This can be achieved by first building the project with GCC 5.4 a quick search in the .map file for initialise_monitor_handles, will reveal the location of the folder that contains the libraries involved. Then repeat the same steps for GCC 7.2 compiler. Finally replace the entire folder with the folder from the older compiler, reverting the semihosting implementation to V1.

IDE-25278

Renesas Synergy

IAR synergy ELF files don't have a .text section

When loading Symbols from multiple .elf files compiled using the IAR toolchain, the user will need to add  ".text" before  place in FLASH_region command inside the .icf Script.

e.g.

{code}

".text":

place in FLASH_region   { block LOCK_LOOKUP,

                          ro,

                          ro section .rodata,

                          block QSPI_NON_RETENTIVE_INIT_BLOCK,

                          block RAM_INIT_CODE,

                          block USB_DEV_DESC_BLK };

{code}

IDE-25273

ARM GCC Plugins

Files not updated when changing the device

When changing the device from a RZ/A1 and attempting to swap to a RZ/T1 the device migration is not successful.

The source code is not migrated successfully and the build fails.

This is due to the different start-up code structure between these devices.

In this case please create a new project and copy the required source to the newly created project.

IDE-25256

GDB server RX

Can't continue debugging if CPU status is changed to sleep mode (RX JLINK).

When using JLink with RX, if the program transits to low power consumption mode immediately after resuming, error may be displayed and may become not to be able to continue debugging. Please avoid resuming from the address where the program is about to enter low power consumption mode.

IDE-25226

Debug Launch

Cannot close dialog "Jlink V6.32i Connection error"

When using the RX GCC builder and excluding either a .s or .SRC file from your project it can cause a null pointer exception on a subsequent rebuild.

IDE-25018

Debugging Synergy

Too many threads cause problem with RTOS resource view and debugging

When debugging a project with a large number of threads (e.g 150 threads) while having the RTOS Resource View open, e2 studio might hang and become unresponsive.

A workaround for this would be to make the RTOS Resource View small and expand it once the Debug Tree View has finished updating.

IDE-24912

Linker Script Editor

Include INCLUDEd script

When using the graphical linker editor, it is does not work well when a linker script is using INCLUDE to include other linker scripts.

In this case the included linker script is ignored and any related memory regions are not loaded. So the view is not usable in this situation.

In this case please modify the linker scripts manually.

IDE-24867

GDB Server Synergy

Mouse over of variable crashes GDB server in e2studio 7.1

With certain projects that use RTOS Integration in Debug View and expose Threads that contain only the 0xfffffffe frame in the Debug Tree View, mouse hovering over strings or macros defined as strings can cause the debug session to become unresponsive or GDB to crash.

IDE-24772

GDB Server RZ

Program doesn't start from boot loader for RZ J-LINK

When using mbed project with J-Link, the program may not work correctly if the program resumed after reset, because it doesn't quit the boot loader. In this case, download the program by using mbed drag and drop programming, and use e2 studio 6.x or replace J-Link dll to J-Link dll V6.16f which is attached to e2 studio 6.3.

Debugging Synergy

ITM Live Trace does not work after Trace (The Trace View) is enabled (even if it is disabled)

The ITM Live Trace view does not work after the Trace is enabled in the standard Trace Window. Even if it is subsequently disabled. Terminating and re-starting the debug session with trace disabled in the trace window will then re-enable ITM Live Trace output.

IDE-24190

Project Generation Core

Import legacy project with Japanese build mode name configuration

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

When this problem occurs the options set in the configuration are lost.

It is therefore recommended to not use Japanese language names for build configurations.

The workaround would be to rename the configuration following import and then manually reset the options as they were before import.

IDE-24032

The GDB run commands which are setup on the debug configuration are not consistently applied.

After the connection process they work correctly however on subsequent debugger reset operations the result is inconsistent.

IDE-23325

CCRX Build plugin

CCRX Build shows an error, Failed to access a temporary file during build of large projects

When building with the CC-RX toolchain at random the following message can be displayed 'Failed to access a temporary file' error is thrown by build process. This occurs more frequently on larger projects with complex include paths, or paths with linked resources.



If this happens please repeat the build and it will work correctly.

IDE-23242

Renesas Synergy

Renesas Synergy

The TB_S3A6 & TB_S5D5 are breakdown with IAR building problem

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.

IDE-22741

CCRL Build plugin

Application

e2 studio fails to restart initially after updating from 7.0.x to 7.1.x

When using the check for updates feature within e2 studio and updating from 7.0.x to 7.1.x the initial restart after the update fails. An error message is displayed. Subsequent launches of e2 studio work without issue.



This is caused by the update to Java.

IDE-22657

GDB Server RH850

Profile shows wrong data for RH850

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

Code Generator plugin

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

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

[PG] missing elements in RX630 vector table

For the RX630 device some elements (RIIC3) are missing in the vector table (typ. vecttbl.c) and subsequent elements have been shifted by that.

As workaround, please manually add INT_Excep_RIIC3_*** elements in the vector table (or the template source located at <e2studio installed folder>\internal\projectgen\rx\Generate\vecttbl\rx630.c).

IDE-22051

Device Support RX

RX111 SRFX file missing Temperature calibration registers

The RX111.sfrx file is missing temperature calibration registers.

This causes the memory view to incorrectly read the register values. 16-bit block reads are used which are not allowed for this memory region.

It is possible to modify the .sfrx file located in:

C:\Renesas\e2_studio7\DebugComp\RX\IoFiles\RX111.sfrx



Please add the following to the <module name="S12AD">

<register name="TSCDRH" address="0x007FC0AD" size="B" value="" absolute="A" format="H" access="RW"></register>

2. Update Command Line pattern IAR C/C++ Compiler for ARM setting if following command missing  ${SECURE_BUILD_COMMAND}

3. Update Command Line pattern IAR C/C++ Assembler for ARM  if following command missing ${SECURE_BUILD_COMMAND}

IDE-19310

GDB Server RH850

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

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 view plugin

IO Registers accessed with disregard for initial setup of register

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

IAR plugins

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

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

Application

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

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

IDE-16874

Debug Configuration ADAS

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

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.

Any attempt to write to address 0xfef00 to 0xfefff will cause 0xff to be written instead.
