[CCRX][CCRL] objs are not deleted by project clean

CCRL Build plugin

If source files are located at project root, *.obj and *.d files in Configure folder (e.g.HardwareDebug/*.obj) will not be removed by clean project command. Workaround: User can delete them manually.

IDE-35898

No pin assignment for new FreeRTOS (with IoT libraries) project

RTOS Configurator

When creating new FreeRTOS (with IoT libraries) project, software components are automatically added (e.g. r_ether_rx). However there is no pin assignment (e.g. pin assignment for r_ether_rx). If users do "Generate Code" on Smart Configurator, there is no generated code for pin, it can cause build error. In this case, it is suggested that users should do pin configuration before generating code.

IDE-35778

On RL78 simulator, time measurement when the device is in standby mode does not work correctly

Device Support RL78

On RL78 simulator, when the program is on standby (in halt, stop, or snooze mode for an RL78 device), the run-break time is not correctly measured in the following cases. • Suspended a program in standby mode. • A program is run following standby mode (run after suspended).

IDE-35319

Command "-break-insert " is still displayed in GDB console of non-active thread

Application

In some situations the enabling the "Restrict new breakpoint to active debug selection" toolbar button is not restricting the breakpoint to the debug selection. With 2 simultaneous simulator sessions it adds the breankpoint to both debug contexts.

IDE-35283

Enable Debug view to show call stacks for rtos threads (ARM + E2 Emulator)

GDB Server E2 ARM

Should not count number of HW Breakpoints as evenpoints when they do not share HW resource

Eventpoints plugin

If debugging ARM device with E2 emulator, when setting hardware breakpoints they will be counted as eventpoints on Eventpoints view. Please ignore them from the number of eventpoints.

IDE-33914

Program does not step correctly for SOTB when library generator enabled

ARM GCC Plugins

Selecting an ARM toolchain that has libgen installed when creating a new RZ project, will cause the program to go to the default handler when stepping, after returning from function on SOTB board. There are 2 workarounds for this: 1. Use a toolchain that doesn't have libgen installed 2. Choose the options : Project-built, Optimized for Library Generator when creating the project and changing the selected options to Pre-built, Newlib after the project was created, by going to Settings->Library Generator.

IDE-33869

Cannot create RZ project when user folder has space

Project Generation Core

If a the Windows profile user name has a space within it, such as "John Smith" it can cause problems when creating projects. A RZ project cannot be created in case user folder has white space. An error dialog will be displayed. Please change the workspace to an area without a space.

IDE-33682

Eventpoint is not unchecked automaticaly when setup fails.

Eventpoints plugin

When using J-link with RA, when setting a start tracepoint event it appears that the eventpoint is not set. A warning icon is displayed. However the event point still works as expected.

Code Generator plugin

For CG RL78/D1A，after loading project (e2studio project or AP3 project) which is saved on 32-bit environment in 64-bit environment, TAU0 channel1 input selection (refer to the red box in the figure below ) can’t be kept.

IDE-33473

Watch point doesn't work on ARM V8M Devices(RA2A1,PEAKS,STAR) with J-Link

Debugging RA

When using the J-Link debugger for ARM V8M devices (Synergy S1JA,RA2A1,.etc) When setting Watch points, if the [Compare Setting] option is not being used then please set the [Data Access Setting]/[Size] to "Byte". Other settings will cause the break event to be missed or unexpected break events to happen.

IDE-33403

RA E2 Emulator: Data-flash is not erased Even if "Erase on-chip data flash before download" = Yes

E2 Emulator

When using the E2 emulator with the RA device family the data flash is not erased even if "Erase on-chip data flash before download" = Yes. If the download module is not located in the data flash area the data flash is not erased.

IDE-33362

Set default of "Prevent Releasing the Reset for CM3 core" to Yes

Debug Configuration RZ

When debugging with the RZ/T1, the debugger option "Prevent Releasing the Reset for CM3 core" should be set default to "Yes" but It's default is set to "No" in the current e2 studio.

IDE-33354

[RZA2M] Build fail due to space characters in workspace

Project Generator GCC RZ

RZ/A2M projects creating in a path containing spaces will fail to build. Either avoid using workspace paths containing spaces or edit the Assembler & Compiler include paths to wrap each path in quotes e.g Change ${ProjDirPath}/generate/os_abstraction/inc -> "${ProjDirPath}/generate/os_abstraction/inc"

IDE-33279

"generate" folder is created after Change Device in Amazon FreeRTOS project for RZA2M

Device Migration

When changing device for a GCC RZ project using Amazon FreeRTOS additional device startup files will be incorrectly added to the project. To avoid this deselect "Project Files" in the change preview.

IDE-32543

QE Tools removed with Update from 7.6 to 7.7

Installer

When updating e2 studio versions using an installer any installed QE tools are removed and then must be reinstalled. To preserve QE tools during an update use the "Check for Updates" function in the "Help" menu to perform an online update.

IDE-32530

Heap configuration settings not getting updated for AC6 compiler

RA Configurator

For a Renesas RA FSP project in e2 studio 7.6, setting the heap size property in the Configuration Editor for an RA project does not pass this modified heap value to the linker script options (AC 6.12). One workaround for this issue is for the user to manually edit the linker file (e.g. .scat) and set the heap size value in there as well.

IDE-32212

Change eventpoint setting when program is suspended may change the content of trace data

GDB server

In case of using trace feature with RX200 or RX100 series, if event setting is changed before the trace information is displayed, the incorrect contents might be displayed. Please don't change the event setting before displaying trace information.

IDE-32012

Breakpoint does not relocate after download

Debugger

When there ia active debug and a relocated breakpoint, when the download action is executed the relocated breakpoint marker is not shown correctly; it is shown on the requested line, not the relocated line as expected.

IDE-31944

--fix-segments should be added (or not removed) with RA and E2/E2lite

Debug Configuration

When creating a project which uses the J-link ARM debugger a command line option --fix-segments flag is added to the additional GDB parameters on startup. If you then switch to using the E2 emulator this parameter is removed. Please add this parameter back into the command line to ensure it continues to work well.

IDE-31863

Debugger crashed at variable array declared in stack frame

Debugger

Under some circumstances, evaluating a variable length array might show wrong results or even cause GDB to crash. This is known to happen when we try to evaluate a variable length array and the instructions that write the information regarding that array have not yet been executed. This is a GCC bug and can be found at https://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=93380. One way to workaround this problem would be to use a fixed size array. Another workaround can be close the Variables View and open it again/ evaluate the variable length array once the code that initialises the memory has been executed.

IDE-31495

[Stack Analysis] Stack tree for RA projects only shows overridden symbol

Stack Analysis View

Stack Analysis view may display incorrectly in below case: - C Project with RA device which have overridden function. Stack tree only shows one symbol for overridden function instead showing all functions.

IDE-31476

Debug execution status is incorrectly reported after Restart under certain conditions

Debugger

When the debug Restart button is clicked, if it is not possible for the system to insert a breakpoint on main, the program will fail to load correctly and the Debug view will incorrectly report the program as running. Workaround: make sure there is a free breakpoint available (the maximum number of breakpoints is not already inserted) before clicking Restart.

IDE-31450

[Trace] Button 'Run Backward' does not work as expectation

Trace plugin

When users press the Trace button 'Run Backward', the 10 next record is selected instead of the newest trace record

IDE-31402

E2 Emulator: On-chip Data flash was always erased even if "Erase on-chip data flash before download" = No

E2 Emulator

In case of using RA devices with E2 or E2 Lite emulator, the option "Erase on-chip data flash before download" will not work if the download data for data flash area is not included.

IDE-30689

JLink remote IP connection needs IP address and port parameter in Debug Configurations

Debug Configuration

It is now possible to configure JLink to select a remote IP name or address. However currently the user interface does not support this feature. It can be supported by adding extra commands in the debug configuration. Under the Jlink section in the Debug Connection settings you can select USB or IP. If IP is selected then you will need to specify an IP address/name and optionally a port number. GDB Server expects the command line parameter (examples): -uSelect= IP=192.168.56.1:8080 -uSelect= IP=localhost:0 -uSelect= IP=jlink.segger.com   

IDE-30613

RH850 debug configuration needs to support blank flash memory fill option.

Debug Configuration RH850

When viewing flash memory in the Memory View, it can be confusing as the values for this memory type can be random for unwritten blank flash memory regions. This can then result in many false postives for memory changes, resulting in more memory changes than expected. (red text) To fix this the debugger supports detection and filling of blank addresses areas with a user specified hex byte value. There is currently no user interface support for this feature. So you need to add the following command parameters to the additional commands section of the debug configuration. The GDB commandline option is: -uBlankFlaskFill= BB with the blank fill value being 0xBB. Specifying this value enables the feature, by default it is off.

IDE-30386

Creating RZ/G project lets you continue with no toolchain selected

RZ/G

Depending on the selected RZ/G device it is possible to create a project without the required toolchain. The RZ/G1 family uses the 32-bit Linaro and the RZ/G2 should use the 64-bit Linaro distribution. It also permits you to select a wrong combination of toolchain and device. If you select a project that needs one of these and it is not installed the project generator will let you proceed. This will mean your project will not build. Please download the correct toolchain and register it to fix this problem.

IDE-30305

_interrupt not resolving in GUI until property is changed

RA Configurator

For the RA family and the Flexible Software Platform (FSP), CTSU is different than other FSP modules in that the interrupt priorities are currently macros instead of run time options. This causes a problem where once added the DTC activation sources are not resolving in the GUI. To work around this please go to the Properties tab and change any property for r_ctsu, then the strings will resolve correctly.

IDE-30258

ARM DS AC6 toolchain definition doesn't specify binary parser

ARM LLVM Plugins

The ARM compiler 6 CDT managed build toolchain definition in DS plugins version 5.23.1 do not specify a "targetPlatform" and therefore does not specify a "binaryParser". This causes AC6 projects to not have a binary parser specified by default which means the .axf build artifact is not detected as a binary by CDT.

IDE-30226

Cannot find binaries when debugging a project compiled with AC6

Debugging RA

When using the Flexible Software Pack (FSP) and the RA family with the AC6 compiler when trying to debug you may see the error: No binaries found To overcome this issue please update the debug configuration as follows: Debug Configuration ->Renesas GDB Hardware Debugging -> Main -> C/C++ Applications -> Paste path to binary file (*.axf).

IDE-30209

Eventpoints of RH850 are not restored correctly

Debugging RH850

RH850 event points are not restored correctly on subsequent debug sessions. You will need to re-set the event points on subsequent debug launches.

IDE-30101

GUI will be not responding when scrolling after filter on Trace

Trace plugin

When doing filter with big Trace Capacity (Trace Capacity > 1M), the filter job does not work, and you may see a TimeOutException. After that, if you do scroll Trace View, e2 studio will crash. Workaround: If the see TimeOutExecption when doing filter, wait about some minutes (~10 minutes) for the filter job finishes, then change the displayed mode (enable or disable one of BUS/DIS/SRC modes), filter result will be displayed and you can scroll Trace view as usual.

IDE-30018

Console Find fails to report items which are indeed present

Eclipse Platform

Sometimes attempting to find some text in the Console view, using the Find/Replace dialog, fails. The workaround is to select in the Console you wish to find in, then attempt the find.

IDE-28705

e2 studio crash relating to threads shown in debugger view

GDB Server Synergy

In some circumstances, when operating with many ThreadX threads that are also using large structures it can cause problems when refreshing the debug view after the debugger is suspended. In some cases the e2 studio application may appear to freeze and become unresponsive. if this is happening then the best method is to go to the Debug Configuration->Debug Tool Settings and switch off the RTOS Integration in the Debug View.

IDE-28660

Trace does not show label for RZ/T1-QSPI project

Debugging RZ

In some cases when using the RZ/T1 device with the QSPI project, trace results do not appear to be correct. In some cases labels are not shown correctly and instead we get multiple instances of the address 0xFFFFFF0.

IDE-25376

e2 studio ThreadX control symbol addresses update when loading multiple elf files.

GDB

When using Synergy with ThreadX debugging problems can be caused when using multiple load modules. Subsequent changes to the ThreadX table are not recognised by the debugger and this can cause incorrect thread data to be displayed. To avoid this ensure the ThreadX table data is within the first load module downloaded by e2 studio. If this does not remedy the issue you can disable the Debug view ThreadX debugging within the debug configuration.

IDE-25278

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

Renesas Synergy

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

Files not updated when changing the device

ARM GCC Plugins

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-25145

NullPointerException generated after excluding resource from build

RX GCC build plugin

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-25087

IDE-24867

Mouse over of variable crashes GDB server or makes e2 studio hang

CDT

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-24657

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

Debugging Synergy

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

Import legacy project with Japanese build mode name configuration

Project Generation Core

When importing user-created configurations with Japanese (multi-byte coded) 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. Therefore it is recommended not to use multi-byte characters 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-23373

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.

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-21737

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.

[RL78] Strange behavior with hardware breakpoint

Debugging RL

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 breakpiont manually after the breakpoint hits. - In case of RL78/G10 (or RL78 devices which flash programming is disabled), software breakpoint is not supported. Therefore, temporary hardware breakpoint will be used for the cases: * Stepping over * Stepping return * Run to line * "Set breakpoint at" is specified in the debug configuration * etc When using these operation, if breakpoints are used in the debugging program, the operation will fail. Please release 1 or more breakpoint before the operation. And please invoke GDB command 'delete breakpoints' in Debugger Console view to remove the breakpoint after the program is suspended by "Set breakpoint at main". If the breakpoint is kept as it is, it will always hit and the next operation such as stepping return or stepping over may fail because no breakpoints can be used for the operation.

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

Debug Configuration ADAS

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]/[Initialization Commands] section in the debug configuration

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.

Data Access Event: Disable data access size when not using data comparison (E2 - ARM)

Eventpoints plugin

When debugging RA devices, data access event without data comparison will detect all access of BYTE/WORD/LONG, even if access size is specified. This behavior is a specification. In case of using E2/E2LITE, the access size will be ignored. In case of using J-Link, please specify BYTE for the access size manually.

Can not set a breakpoint with RE debugger.

Application

In some situations, after startup the default breakpoint type reverts to "C/C++ Breakpoint" rather than "e2 studio Breakpoint". If this is the case then you can change back to the"e2 studio Breakpoint" type by right clicking on the breakpoint, editor column. Then selecting "Breakpoint type" from the context menu and then selecting "e2 studio Beakpoint". Leaving as C/C++ Breakpoint will mean limited access to hardware breakpoint functionality.

Tool Chain Editor "Toolchain" should be labelled correctly

Renesas RE

When using the RE device family you may notice that in the project settings > C/C++ Build > Tool Chain Editor, the "Current toolchain" combo has an item labelled "Toolchain". This refers to the toolchain "GCC for Renesas RE".

Handle the case that data access event with comparison over of maximum.

Eventpoints plugin

When debugging RA family with E2/E2 Lite emulator, some device can specify data comparison condition in Eventpoint view. As the data comparison event will consume 2 events, if the rest of events are less than 2, setting the data comparison event will fail. In this case, the event will be displayed with the error icon, but the check box of it will be checked. Please uncheck it manually.

IDE-33235

Eventpoint can still add Trace start/stop event when exceeding maximum events

Eventpoints plugin

Currently, when using E2 ARM, the count of Eventpoints may not correct. Please inspect the icons next to Eventpoints before using them. If there are error/warning icons after setting events, that means events do not set on target. Please recheck the Eventpoints that have the error icon. If address is valid, it means number of events exceeds the limit.

On Renesas RL78/G14 peripheral simulator, the problem when using timer RD to control the event count period in event count mode of timer RJ

Device Support RL78

[On Renesas RL78/G14 peripheral simulator, the problem when using Timer RD for controlling the event count period for Timer RJ in event counter mode] When using timer RJ in event counter mode, if the settings of the related registers meet the following (1) to (3), the simulator operates differently from device specifications. (1) Timer RJ mode register 0 (TRJMR0) Timer RJ operating mode selection: Event counter mode (2) Timer RJ I/O control register 0 (TRJIOC0) TRJIO count control: Event is counted during polarity period (high-level period or low-level period) specified for timer output signal (3) Timer RJ event pin select register 0 (TRJISR0) Timer output signal selection: “TRDIOD1” or “TRDIOC1” to select timer RD [Simulator’s operations that differ from device specifications] - When “an event is counted during the high-level period” is selected as polarity selection, the TRJ0 counter does not count, even if the output signal of timer RD is in the high-level period. - When “an event is counted during the low-level period” is selected as polarity selection, the TRJ0 counter counts, even if the output signal of timer RD is in the high-level period. [Workaround] There is no workaround.

Eventpoint view cannot count hardware breakpoint at main

Eventpoints plugin

When using the RE device the maximum number of breakpoints that can be set does not count the automatic breakpoint set at main. This can then cause a connection failure as this breakpoint cannot be set and the sequence fails. Removing one user breakpoint will allow the connection to complete successfully.

customer issues with long clean command

ARM GCC Plugins

e2 studio when executing the clean command as part of the build process will sometimes fail. This is because the command line length limit is reached. It can occur when cleaning a huge number of files or using deep nested directories. In this case please delete the files manually. This will avoid the issue.
