Target Halt...

Started by Kumaran August 10, 2004
Hi all,

I am working with SHARC processor. I am using the VDSP++3.5 tools. I have
connected the target board with the emulator. When I run the application,
sometimes the emulator gets halted, and displays

"Target halted due to software breakpoint but no breakpoint found at
address: xxxxxxx"

Have any one of u experienced this...What could be the reason for this and
how to solve... Kums

No experience with it, but I can guess what happened. You set a software
breakpoint then brought in a new chunk of code, or did an overlay which
brought in a breakpoint jump and it was never set in the internal break
table.

Be real careful how you reload your code. Clear all breaks first, then
reload, then reset your breaks. Use some kind of command list if you have
to for lots of breaks. You're getting the poor thing confused, so you'll
have to be pretty clear about when you want to change code out and reload
a new batch.

Patience, persistence, truth,
