Loadmodule converter cannot execute copy-obj when converter is invoked without path. |
Loadmodule Converter |
Build error occurs and .x file for FAA core is not generated when using CC-RL and FAA Assembler for FAA equipped RL78 devices.
ex)
renesas_cc_converterrl78-elf-objcopy -j .debug_* -j FAACODE -j FAADATA GreenDSP.x faa_sampleGreenDSP_Core0.x
CreateProcess failed (2).
To generate .x file, specify command line to execute renesas_cc_converter with its path to post-build steps in Build Steps tab of "C/C++ Build -> Settings" in the project properties. makefile contains command line of renesas_cc_converter.
ex)
renesas_cc_converter faa_sample.abs faa_sample.x -dsp_section=FAACODE,FAADATA
Add the path to the command line above and specify it to "Post-build steps".
You can get the path of renesas_cc_converter.exe by going to "Support Folders" tab in "e2 studio Installation Details" opened from "Installation Details" button on "About e2 studio", click link for "e2 studio support area:", and find renesas_cc_converter.exe in \Utilities\ccrl folder.
example of command line specified in post-build steps:
C:\Users\username\.eclipse\com.renesas.platform_1195273088\Utilities\ccrl\renesas_cc_converter faa_sample.abs faa_sample.x -dsp_section=FAACODE,FAADATA
The above workaround will still show a failure, but renesas_cc_converter is executed after that and generates .x file correctly. |

Unable to build c++ build with RA Platform Installer for e2 studio 2023-10 FSP v5.0.0-beta |
RA Platform Installer |
When installing the platform installer for RA on Windows you may experience issues with GCC toolchain compilation if e2 studio is installed in a long path. Examples problems include not being able to find system include header files.
The workaround for this issue is to install e2 studio in shorter directory structure.
e.g.
c:\users\username\appdata\local\programs\renesas\e2_studio\toolchains\gcc_arm\arm-gnu-toolchain-12.2.mpacbti-rel1-mingw-w64-i686-arm-none-eabi

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. |
