Visual Develop and cosmic

Posted on October 11, 2004 at 11:47

I have noticed a strange problem with cosmic (v4.4e) and Visual Develop (3.0.1).

The project is using a ST7FLITE05 and the PADR register cannot be added to the watch window - Address of symbol PADR is unknown. All other registers seem to be ok.

PADR can be added ok if using the ST assembler.

Hi sjo,

we have done some checks and we see no special problem with this register; its address is well defined in the debug info (both proprietary and ELF formats), together with the address of all other registers (which seem to work).

Are you working in C or asm? Have you tried with ZAP?

Regards,

Luca (Cosmic)

Not tried with zap as I only have an old copy about.

The project is in c which shows the error, I have tried with the ST assembler which behaves correctly - I will try the cosmic assembler to see if it is ok.

Its strange that only PADR (address 0) is affected.

STVD7 doesn' support watch on variables located at address 0 (whatever the toolset).

Sorry, it is not documented yet in the release notes, it will be in next version.

The fix is not planned for next release of stvd7.

I'm afraid this is not true, PADR can be added to the watch window for a FLIT09 when using the st assembler. I have just tried it.
