Application

The certificate approval screen which appears during automatic smart manual installation can cause e2 studio to appear to lock. If this happens you can select another application, then going back to e2 studio to dismiss the dialog.

IDE-15894

Cannot delete Hew project on e2s 6.0

Application

HEW projects cannot be removed from the workspace after importing a HEW project. Since HEW project has some read-only/hidden files. If you want to delete the HEW project, please delete the following read-only/hidden files first. - xxx.rxc, xxx.rxa, xxx.rxg, xxx.hlk

IDE-8711

Timing to show 'Unable to modify eventpoints' message is strange.

Application

When the timer start/stop events are set in Editor view of RX, the message to notify the limit number may not be displayed.

IDE-8651

Not possible to update e2 studio

Application

If during the update process you see a message similar to: "Backup of file c:\renesas\e2studio\eclipse\e2studio.exe failed. File that was copied to backup could not be deleted: c:\renesas\e2studio\eclipse\e2studio.exe" Then this can be avoided by renaming the e2studio.exe executable after the check for updates process has started.

IDE-8627

System Explorer launch breaking E2

Application

On some systems you may encounter an error when launching the system explorer from the Project Explorer context menu. If using this causes e2 studio to freeze or context menus to stop displaying, you should terminate the e2 studio process.

IDE-8450

Empty view on minimize and restore (Variables, Expression, IO Register, etc)

Application

When minimizing a view such as Expressions, Registers or IO Registers and the restoring the view it can appear blank. If this happens repeat the operation and the view contents will be visible again.

IDE-8099

Cursor hovering over the breakpoint Types causes e2 studio to crash

Application

When using Ubuntu using Unity there is an issue which causes e2 studio to crash. When hovering over the breakpoint types the e2 studio application crashes. Caused by Ubuntu/Eclipse issue, see Eclipse Bug 419729. Workaround is given but cannot be added to product automatically.

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 affects both for configuration management dialog and the configuration creation dialog of Optimization Assistant.

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-4492

The Module View of e2studio does not display any information when an executable which includes debug information was downloaded to the target.

Application

The Module View of e2 studio does not display any information when an executable which includes debug information was downloaded to the target.

IDE-3950

breakpoints cannot be unset within the editor when code is #ifdef out

Application

Breakpoints cannot be unset on editor if the codes are out of #ifdef close. Those breakpoints can be removed in Breakpoints View.

IDE-3389

Source Addresses: multiple debug contexts with same-named source file

Application

When debugging files with the same name show source addresses even though it may not be correct for the file in question. The full file path is not considered just the filename and current debug context. This can lead to e2 studio showing addresses unnecessarily.

IDE-33999

Exclude from upgrading the legacy projects with read-only files

ARM GCC Plugins

Project upgrade does not work well when the project files are read-only. It can result in errors which refer to an orphaned configuration. Instead please ensure files are writable before performing project upgrades.

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 does not 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-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-20425

[RZ] Project converter to fill FPU architecture option build fail

ARM GCC Plugins

Due to previous build plugin issues on conversion we add “.lib” to the build artifact output prefix in some conditions. Unfortunately, this can cause issues with some project types. If you experience an issue related to this, please remove the “.lib” and rebuild.

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-37601

Linked source file build FAIL in path has special characters

CCRL Build plugin

Build project failed if there is a linked source which located in a path with some special characters such as '$','%'. This is a limitation of make file. Please avoid creating source file in folder with the special characters.

IDE-23325

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

CCRX Build plugin

[CC-RX project] 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-16801

[CC-RX] Some setting options is not updated correctly with user configuration and multiple configurations

CCRX Build plugin

[CC-RX project] If you specify options for multiple configurations using Multiple configurations, options may be specified for all configurations. (Ex: Endian option) In this case, specify options by each configuration.

IDE-25513

Disassemble view is not updated when re-downloading during debugger connection.

CDT

When redownloading a download module after rebuilding it the disassembly and other views may display old data until manually refreshed.

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-21649

[Breakpoint] Invalid breakpoint warning is lost after using Move To Line

CDT

After a move to line operation in the debugger the source window is updated, and breakpoint warning markers are removed from view.

IDE-18639

Incremental build can break after renaming or copying a project

CDT

After renaming or copying a project incremental build might be broken & the project will perform a full build every time. If this occurs, then: 1. Open project proprieties & go to the "C/C++ Build" -> "Refresh Policy" 2. Delete the old name of project folder, then add the new project name.

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 refreshing the disassembly view does not fix the problem. To restore the functionality close and re-open the view.

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-6529

Disassembly view is empty after restart

CDT

After restart on occasion the disassembly window can be empty. Refreshing the window or stepping works around the problem.

IDE-6350

[Multiple Configuration]: NullPointerException with custom configuration

CDT

NullPointerException is observed when adding a custom configuration and selecting the same configuration within the ‘Multiple Configuration…' selection at the same time. This issue only occurs if user has not applied after creating new config: https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=352047

IDE-37202

e2studio crashes when changing pin configuration

Code Generator plugin

IDE-26789

[CG] the value of "Clock Generator"/"Peripheral function used" is shown inconsistently on 2 views (Code Preview and Peripheral Functions)

Code Generator plugin

Even though a peripheral is used, the peripheral information is empty on Code Preview property. e.g.) Step1/ Create a project using Code generator Step2/ Open the project on Project Explorer Step3/ [Code Generator]/[Code Preview]/[Clock Generator] -> right click and choose [Property] Expected: The value of 'Peripheral function used' is 'Used'. Actual: The value of 'Peripheral function used' is empty.

IDE-21570

Code Generator does not work with project located in SVN/Git repository

Code Generator plugin

Code Generator is missing when loading the project shared to SVN/Git repository.

IDE-20888

Add support for -mno-allow-string-insns in code generator

Code Generator plugin

Code Generator for RX does not support '-mno-allow-string-insns' of GCC compiler option. Selecting '-mno-allow-string-insns' causes a buid error about 'smovf' instruction in 'r_cg_reset_program.asm'.

IDE-16062

Code Generator not registered when installed in a separate folder

Code Generator plugin

When e2 studio is installed in multiple locations on the user’s machine and they are same version, the Code Generator does not work. [Workaround] Please execute "CGRegister.exe" under /plugins/com.renesas.cg_x.x.x.vxxxxxxx-xxxx/CodeGenerator/Tools

IDE-14439

Function called from group interrupt hadler should have prototype

Code Generator plugin

Generated function called from group interrupt handler does not have prototype. W0520223 occurs when C99 is selected or -change_message=warning option is specified. In the following case, r_sci2_transmitend_interrupt and r_doc_dopcf_interrupt shoud be declared by prototype --------- void r_icu_group_bl0_interrupt(void) { if (ICU.GRPBL0.BIT.IS4 == 1U) { r_sci2_transmitend_interrupt(); } if (ICU.GRPBL0.BIT.IS29 == 1U) { r_doc_dopcf_interrupt(); }

IDE-23028

Coverage plugin

When using Data Coverage to collect variables information, Maximum and Minimum column are always zero, this issue occurs on all supported devices

IDE-25087

Opening Measure Current Consumption View and then terminating debug session causes e2 studio to crash.

Current Consumption View

Opening Measuring Current Consumption (QE) view might cause e2 studio to not function properly anymore and a restart might be required.

IDE-17089

Monitor point can't be set if NOP is not inserted at the top of the line.

Current Consumption View

When using monitor point insertion with CCRL 1.05 or CCRX 2.08 for the Current Consumption View, if nop is not inserted at the top address of the line because of the code generation or optimization, setting monitor point will fail. In this case, please insert NOP() in the source code manually.

IDE-36933

[Debug Configurations] SWV/Core clock (MHz) value is disabled for SWD as default value

Debug Configuration

For J-Link Debugger Debug Configurations, selecting Interface Type SWD will enable Core clock (MHz) value input. However, when creating a new debug configuration, with the Interface Type SWD as default value, Core clock (MHz) value input is disabled. Please select SWD again to enable the SWV/Core clock field.

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 start-up. 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-10423

Automatic data flash erase on RL78 device during the debug session start via E1

Debug Configuration

Erase flash on start-up option on RL78 should be executed once. When e2studio connects successfully to RL78 target and erases the flash, this option should return to false, so that flashing is not done every time target is connected.

IDE-8438

'Internal Flash Memory Overwrite' option for RX E1 needs the number limitation.

Debug Configuration

If more than 16 non-adjacent items are selected from the "Internal Flash Memory Overwrite" dialog, only the first items will be valid. Others will be discarded.

IDE-6408

(RX) Selecting user boot mode always show the message.

Debug Configuration

When User boot mode is selected at the setting for Mode pin in CPU Operating Mode, the warning for USB boot program is displayed even if the device does not have USB boot program. Please click 'yes' if the device does not have USB boot program.

IDE-4876

Rx, In flash write mode, debugger features should be disabled

Debug Configuration

When debugging with RX, if the settings are in flash write mode, the debugger features are not available. If the ID code is changed or the communication I/F is FINE, reading memory will fail after download finished. Please disconnect from emulator and pull USB cable out in this case.

IDE-1778

More than 4 'Internal Flash Memory Overwrite' blocks are allowed

Debug Configuration

When setting the 'Internal Flash Memory Overwrite' debug option, it is possible to exceed the maximum number of non-continuous memory blocks supported. No warning is given if this limit is exceeded. When setting this option ensure the limit (16 for RX devices) is not exceeded.

IDE-16874

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

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-38062

GUI can't be updated when changing "Verify On Writing To Memory" option

Debug Configuration RX

In Debug Configuration settings, if the value of the RX device's "Verify On Writing To Memory" option is changed, the change cannot be updated when opening the 'Debug Configuration settings' again

IDE-36152

Support multicore for RVDC view

Debug Console plugin

Reneas Virtual Debug Console view have just supported multi-sessions. In case the session has multi-core, it cannot realize, then it will show data from cores into single view. The data will be messy.

IDE-36041

RVDC does NOT show data when multicore devices such as RZ/T

Debug Console plugin

When creating Launch Group with 2 different RZ/T projects which have 2 different cores. The second project can show data on Renesas Virtual Debug Console but the first project cannot.

IDE-18606

E2 Studio "Console" view - "Renesas Debug Virtual Console" issues

Debug Console plugin

Renesas Debug Virtual Console's pin status will not be restored for next opening e2 studio. Please active and pin it manually before debugging to avoid losing data.

IDE-35952

[RX] SETPSW instructions are not disassembled in debugger

Debugger

When debugging with RX devices, the SETPSW instructions are not disassembled by the debugger.

IDE-32012

Breakpoint does not relocate after download

Debugger

When there is an 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-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 work around 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-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-21616

Connection will fail if max+1 breakpoints are set.

Debugger

If setting breakpoint is failed, the breakpoint is marked as exclamation in the editor view (or marked as un-checked in breakpoint view). In this case, if debugger is disconnected and re-connected, connection will fail. To avoid this, please remove the failed breakpoints before connection. And also, this will happen if "Set breakpoint at" is checked in the debug configuration, when the flash programming is disabled. In this case, please set the check OFF before connection.

IDE-9101

Cannot launch debug session when breakpoint cannot be set

Debugger

If GDB is unable to set a breakpoint during the launch, then the whole launch will be aborted. Removing the breakpoint(s) will allow the launch to complete successfully.

IDE-38302

Investigation into Progress Information dialog repeatedly pops up after clicking relocated breakpoint

Debugging RA

None

IDE-37934

RA6M4 - J-Link ARM fails to read clock frequency. Reset required to continue.

Debugging RA

When debugging with the RA6M4 in SSD mode there can be problems with the Run-Break performance measurement feature. After program execution reaches the first breakpoint the target then needs a manual reset to continue. The workaround for this feature is to disable run-break performance monitoring in the Debug configuration or use a manually defined frequency. e.g. 200mhz for RA6M4.

IDE-37833

[RA6M4] NSECSD debugging fails if non-secure region is not pre-downloaded with non-secure program in SSD state

Debugging RA

In case of using RA devices which support ARM TrustZone, a temporary non-secure test program must be downloaded into the non-secure region in SSD state before transitioning the state to NSECSD state. If the non-secure region is not pre-loaded with a non-secure program, non-secure project debugging in NSECSD state will fail.

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-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-37963

Debug Tools Settings for RA Debugger Connection does not render correctly on Ubuntu 20.04.1 LTS

Debugging RA Linux

When using e2 studio on Ubuntu 20.04 LTS the debug configuration may on occasion not render correctly. If this happens please re-size the dialog and then it will redraw and render correctly.

IDE-38032

IAR RH850 setting breakpoints doesn't work

Debugging RH850

If you are debugging RH850 with the E2 emulator with an IAR project you must ensure that the IAR RH850 plugins are also installed. Otherwise it is not possible to set breakpoints.

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-18623

[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.

IDE-15101

Cannot connect to EZ emulator when another debugger is connected.

Debugging RL

When using EZ emulator with RL78, if another emulator like E1 is connected to PC, connection to EZ emulator will fail. Please don't connect another when using EZ emulator.

IDE-9533

Fail safe break message not clear on RL78 IECUBE

Debugging RL

When the failsafe break is configured to "Stop on read from uninitialized RAM" on the RL78 IECUBE the break occurs but the cause is not clear.

IDE-10108

Error Dialog is shown when disconnected.

Debugging RX

When hitting Disconnect on a running debug session (with breakpoints in use) the debugger will error and fail to disconnect Workaround: Only click Disconnect when the session is paused (the Disconnect operation will return the device to the running state automatically)

IDE-8795

Breakpoint filter is not restored when reconnecting debugger

Debugging RX

If you perform Disconnect-> Connect operation on the debugger, the Breakpoint Filter setting will not be restored correctly. In the above operation, check the Breakpoint Filter and reset it manually.

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-21737

RZ/A serial launch with Linux target doesn't show console output from target

Debugging RZ Linux

With ethernet based connections for Linux target debugging, e2 studio starts GDB server and captures output of the process. With Linux target, serial connection GDB server is started but the console output is not captured.

IDE-21601

RZ/A serial COM port doesn't work if port number is greater than 9

Debugging RZ Linux

RZ/A serial COM port does not work if the port number is greater than 9. If Windows assign device USB COM port to 10 or above, then gdb can't find the port. gdb shows, "No such file or directory"

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-12878

Enabling BSD sockets in ThreadX source code breaks RTOS Resources View

Debugging Synergy

When using the Synergy editor if you enable the BSD sockets in the ThreadX source code updates to the RTOS resources view and e2 studio debug view will no longer work correctly.

IDE-9393

Coresight SWV Clock setup needs improvement

Debugging Synergy

On Synergy devices the default "Core Clock" value for SWV usage should be set to the same as the system clock (in Mhz). For S7 devices (where the trace clock is halved) this should be set at half the system clock.

IDE-35635

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-35280

"Migration needed" dialog appear when reopening Debug configuration dialog

Device Support RX

Sometimes, when changing Debug Hardware in Debug Configuration to Segger JLink, "Migration needed" dialog will be appeared unexpectedly. Please close this dialog and other action will work normally.

IDE-18693

Device Support RX

1. Only the "USER I/F" is supported for power supply interface. Cannot be used with "E2 expansion I/F". 2. When monitor point is set, current consumption may be measured for a certain period even after user program stops.

IDE-20598

RZ/G debugger Renesas Device Support

Device Support RZ

When opening Renesas Device Support tab of e2 studio Installation Details dialog, it is described that J-Link ARM is supported for RZ/G. However, JTAG debug for RZ/G is not supported. Only TCF connection debug for Linux application is supported.

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-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-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-10061

e2Studio Installer Fails with Spaces in User Name (Windows)

Eclipse Platform

The e2 studio installer can fail when installing to machines where the user name has spaces included in the name. If you can login with another user name such as “Administrator” then this problem can be avoided.

IDE-37416

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.

IDE-33927

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
