FSP Smart Configurator the linker script is now generated in the build configuration folder |
FSP Smart Configurator |
When using the FSP Smart Configurator the linker script is now generated in the build configuration folder rather than the script folder. This change should be automatically picked up when the project content is generated from the FSP Smart Configurator tool. This should ensure that existing projects continue to work as expected.
When using the IAR toolchain for your project this new behavior can cause issues. In this case the IAR linker uses the “memory_regions.icf” file available in the script folder rather than the script file generated in the build configurations folder. To workaround this please delete the file present in the script folder, then the tool will use the file in the build configuration folder.

IDE-47592 |
RX Offset feature on debug configuration->Startup. |
Debug Configuration RX |
In some situations e2 studio can prevent you adding an RX image with an offset on the debug Configuration->Startup tab.
This most likely will happen because the offset memory address for the option setting is not mapped in the device.
To avoid this, run these GDB commands before downlaod
delete mem
mem 0x00000000 0x100000000 rw nocache
and run the command after download will be required.
mem auto |

Build Error Sometimes Overlaps Code Line - Display Resolution |
Eclipse Platform |
In certain situations the errors that are displayed after a build will overlap the source line in the editor window. If this occurs scrolling the editor view up or down seems to resolve this.
If this becomes a common occurrence it is possible to stop this happening by switching off the code mining option.
This is available in the Window->Preferences page. In the section General->Editors->Text Editors. The option to switch off is named Show code minings for problem annotations. Change this setting to None. |

Project imported from Windows build fail in Linux |
ARM GCC Plugins |
If copying a project with it's build output directory been Windows & Linux, or moving it to a new location, you need to do a clean and rebuild to avoid build errors.
If storing a project under version control avoid including the build output directories. At a minimum exclude the *.d files which may contain system specific paths. |
IDE-46110 |
DPFPU registers always show 0 for J-Link (RX). |

Property not selected from constraint if Properties View is not initialised |
DDSC/FSP Smart Configurator |
If a property from the constraint link in a module tooltip is selected before the Properties view is initialised the property is not selected in the Properties view
This only occurs after the FSP Configuration has first been opened and no module has been selected
A workaround is to select a module in the Stacks view before selecting a link from one of the module tooltips so that the Properties view is initialised |
IDE-44386 |
Migrating project when the SSP version the project created with is missing, does not post backward incompatibility warning |
Synergy Editor |
When migrating a Synergy project when the SSP version that the project is created with is not installed a message is displayed that does not inform you that the project files will be modified after this action.
Note this action cannot be reverted so ensure you have a backup or have your project in revision control before proceeding. |

Handle anonymous union DIEs without DW_AT_location |
Loadmodule Converter |
When doing the debugging with the project contains anonymous union variable in source code, some debugging features become unavailable, such as:
- Source line address may not be shown in Code Editor
- Cannot set breakpoint in Code Editor (can do this at Disassembly view)
- Can only watch global variables in Expression view |
IDE-42382 |
Syntax Error parsing in fsp.ld file |
Linker Script Editor |
When using the graphical linker editor feature with linker scripts from FSP 2.3 or greater false errors are shown in the editor due to .ld file parsing errors.
e.g.
__RESERVE_NS_RAM = (! DEFINED(PROJECT_NONSECURE)) && DEFINED(RAM_NS_BUFFER_LENGTH);
This is not a linker error (code builds correctly) but a problem with the error parser. |
IDE-40800 |
It seems the IO Register view shows value not from DSP IO Register area (for SDMA1 + Simulator only) |
Multicore Debugging GreenDSP |
In case of debugging the SDMA1 with a Simulator, when selecting the DSP core, the IO Registers view shows the value in the DSP register area instead of DSP IO Register area. |
IDE-40412 |
The properties view is not being brought to top after an FSP property search |
RA Configurator |
The properties view is not brought to the top if it is not already at the top after performing an FSP properties search. The properties view is at the top by default as part of the FSP perspective but in a case where it isn't at the top it should be brought to the top after an FSP property search. |

Optimization Assistant - Measuring execution time does not finish |
Optimization assistant |
Using Optimization Assistant Time measurement with GCC RX may cause the measurement unable to finish. The end address of function build from GCC RX may be different with the one in Disassembly view so Optimization Assistant cannot reach the end of function. If the measurement is too long to finish or unable to finish, just press "Cancel" to stop measurement. |

IDE-37745 |
[J-Link] Debugging RA6M4 TrustZone projects with "Symbols only" causes breakpoint error at main program |
Debugging RA |
When debugging RA6M4 with a Trustzone project and downloading using "Symbols Only" this combination can cause errors with breakpoint handling. In particular when you have set "Set breakpoint at" functionality at the main label.
You will see an exception during the connection process. "Exception occured during launch".
The work around is to set any command in the "Run Commands" field in the "Startup" tab, e.g.
set remotetimeout 1000
or
set debug remote 1
Following this the breakpoint is processed correctly. |
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. |

Missing support in startup code for CCRX to GCC converter |
CCRX to GCC Converter |
The CCRX to GCC converrsion tool does not perform a 100% guaranteed conversion. Here are some problems that may require further manual correction.
Missing explicit setting of usp and isp registers. In resetprg.c, function PowerON_Reset_PC() there is no explicit call to set_isp() or set_usp(). While ccrx compiler automatically adds asm code to setup isp and usp registers, once converted to gcc, there is no translation for the missing code.
At the start of gcc function PowerON_Reset_PC() please add the following code:
__builtin_rx_mvtc (0xA, sstack);
__builtin_rx_mvtc (0x2, ustack);
Initialization of variables is not ported. Functions _INITSCT, _CALL_INIT and _CALL_END all play a crucial role for initializing global variables, and objects. However, ccrx compiler exposes these functions only as ccrx libraries.
_SECTOP_EVECT is missing, for rxv2 architecture exception table and may be different then interrupt vector table.
Incomplete translation in PowerON_Reset_PC()
The code "set_extb(__sectop("EXCEPTVECT"));" should be "__builtin_rx_mvtc (0xD, __SECTOP_EVECT);" |
