IDE-62641 PC doesn't stop at the reset vector on reset for RZ. Debugging RZ When debugging RZ devices, PC will not stop at an address of reset vector on reset. Program will run in a short time after reset, and then, the program will be halted. If the program is built for RAM debugging (without using boot loader), the program will not run after reset correctly. In this case, please re-download the program (please don't forget to set "Reset after reload" option to 'No' on Debug Configuration) after reset, or disconnect the debugging and re-connect.
IDE-61617 [RX] Renesas Coverage is still enabled after disabled Coverage plugin When using RX with the Renesas Coverage feature. The Renesas Coverage view is still working after coverage has been disabled and the debugger re-connected.
IDE-61423 RASC not creating hal_entry.cpp for C++ blinky projects DDSC/FSP Smart Configurator RASC currently does not support C++ project creation fully (as opposed to C project generation).
IDE-61365 Timer event can't be allocated when break event is used (RX26T) GDB server RX When debugging with RX and 2 event break points are set, timer start for data access can be set but the timer stop can't be set.
IDE-61156 [RX26T] Execution address events is limited by 4 for Trace/Performance Eventpoints plugin RX26T The spec of the device should be:  - 8 execution address events and 4 data access events (same as RX6xx)    ・For hardware break or break events, 8 execution address events and 4 data access events can be specified (same as RX6xx)    ・For trace event (start/stop/record), 4 execution address events and 2 data access events can be specified (same as RX2xx)    ・For time measurement event (start/stop), 4 execution address events and 2 data access events can be specified (same as RX2xx) Currently, the resource for execution address events is up to 8 events. which is not correct.
IDE-61037 Build error occurs when adding new Build Configuration CCRH Build plugin CC-RX/CC-RL/CC-RH project: Build error occurs when executing Build with a new Build configuration you added. At that case, please specify the toolchain and device to your project. After opening the project, this can be achieved via the Project Explorer, project context menu. On this menu access the "Renesas C/C++ Project Settings" and use the "Change Device" and "Change Toolchain Version" features.
IDE-59574 Breakpoint's Ignore count does not work with RL78 GDB server RL78 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. - Ignore count of the breakpoint does not work. - 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 operations, 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-59463 Result of the last Run-Break time measurement is always 0 us when run project Time Measurement When debugging RX family via Segger JLink on Linux OS, the run break time measurement has not been supported.
IDE-59435 File path, file name on profile view is empty when debugging with RX GCC Profile plugin The filename and file path cannot be displayed when using the Profile feature on Linux OS.

IDE-47191 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.
IDE-46896 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). GDB server RX Some RX devices such as RX72M supports double precision FPU registers. But when debugging it with J-Link, the registers is displayed as 0 in Registers View and writing a value to the register will be ignored.
IDE-45156 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-43454 Cannot run Linux installer as root Installer The Linux installer for e2 studio cannot be run as root by default, including using "sudo". If you wish to run it as root then you need to add "--appimage-extract-and-run" as the 1st argument. e.g. "sudo ./e2studio_installer-2021-07.AppImage --appimage-extract-and-run"

Closed Issues in e2 studio 2023-04

Key Summary Component Description
IDE-60881 J-Link RX connection to RXv3 devices with big endian will cause a warning of endian mismatch. GDB server RX When using big endian project for RXv3 devices with J-Link, the warning that says about mismatch of the endian will be displayed on connection. Please ignore the message and press ok for debugging.
IDE-60229 Read/Write the first byte of data flash may fail for RA GDB Server RA When using RA with TrustZone and the DLM is transitioned to NSECSD, if the data flash size for secure is 0, the read/write to the first byte of the data flash will fail. In this case, please add a minimum size of data flash in secure project.
IDE-59924 Memory Usage cannot display the information correctly with RH850 multi-core project Device Support RH850 Memory Usage view cannot display the map information properly with RH850 multi-core project. Be sure to close Memory Usage view when your target is RH850 multi-core project. (For RH850 single core project, you can use Memory Usage view.)
IDE-59871 RX ACC register value is incorrect for Big endian. GDB server RX When using RX (RXv1 core devices such as RX610) with big endian setting, the value of ACC is incorrect. The high value and low value will be reversed.
IDE-59496 [Linux] Renesas Virtual Debug Console - Port setting Debug Console plugin In Linux OS, the current e2s cannot list the COM port. Hence it seems this RVDC plugin cannot work with COM port in Linux OS
IDE-59434 [Linux] gdb server rl78 failed to start when Measuring Current Consumption view was opened before GDB server RL78 When using RX or RL78 on Linux with E2 emulator, Measuring Current Consumption feature is not supported. Please disable the feature when using the device on Linux.
IDE-59034 Synergy Package view not shown by default (now we're using the Renesas Pin Configurator) RA Configurator The Synergy Package view will need to be opened manually in 2023-01, as it is not opened by default (since Synergy now uses a different Pin Configurator than in earlier e2 studio versions). The Synergy Package view is named "Synergy Package (experimental)". In 2023-04, the "Synergy Package (experimental)" view has been renamed to "Synergy Package" and is defined as part of the "Synergy Configuration" perspective. By default it is on the right of the "Editor Area". If you have an existing "Synergy Configuration" perspective with the "Package" view, close and re-open the perspective - you will now see the new "Synergy Package" view. If you have replaced the "Synergy Configuration" perspective with a customised layout, you will have to reset this perspective: Window > Perspective > Reset Perspective... > Reset Perspective.
IDE-58781 Time Unit work incorrectly when change Zoom In/Out Current Consumption View When the view have data then perform zoom In/out. Finally, if change the time unit, the time unit is wrong. Work-around: Change time unit before push Resume/Suspend. After pushing Resume/Suspend then Zoom In/Out works normally.
