[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-59440 |
Disconnection of RA board allowing the user code to execute does not work when using semihosting - documentation support |
GDB server |
Disconnect an RA board with the "Continue" option (allowing the user code to execute after disconnecting from JLink) does not work when using semihosting.
To work around this make sure you have conditional code for when the debugger is not connected, e.g.
semihosting_printf( ... )
{
if (CoreDebug->DHCSR & CoreDebug_DHCSR_C_DEBUGEN_Msk)
{
printf( ... );
}
}
#if semihosting
#SAFE_PRINTF( ... ) semihosting_printf( ... )
#else
#SAFE_PRINTF( ... ) printf( ... )
#endif
Additionally, the use of an updated hard-fault handler to catch this situation would also help. |
IDE-59435 |
