I have been working for months with a custom board based on the XUF216-512-TQ128 device and it has suddenly started acting strangely. I've read through many posts with similar problems (some details below), leading me to think I have some kind of hardware problem. But, since the hardware was working fine before, I would like to dig deeper into the issue and I would be very grateful for any advice on how to do so.
Currently, I am having no luck executing a single-task program, the only executable line of which is a printf statement. Nothing appears in the console although it indicates the program is running. I've been able to printf and do many other things successfully on this board up until this point. This small test program runs fine on, for instance, a previous version of the board with no change to the executable - I simply swap the board to which the XTAG connector is connected and re-run.
When I launch this program with the debugger I see in the console the text I pasted at the bottom of this post. There is a line "It stopped with signal SIGTRAP, Trace/breakpoint trap." even though I have no breakpoints set and the debugger consoles indicate the debugger is still running. I am a noob at embedded programming, so am unclear what this might mean and how to proceed with debugging it.
I have been experimenting a good deal with using the flash for persistent data storage and "dual booting", and wonder if I have messed up the flash somehow. For instance, when I execute "xflash --verbose --read-all --target-file MyBoard.xn -o tmp.bin" in a terminal, this command hangs. That is, if I watch the size of tmp.bin it grows to a value much less than the 2MB flash size then stops growing, and the read-all command never completes (within a couple minutes at least). I can sometimes flash the program from xtimecomposer, and sometimes I get this one-line output "xrun: Binary not correctly downloaded to target device", or this multi-line output:
I am using Community_14.3.3 (build 22296, Apr-19-2018) on Ubuntu 16.04.Warning: F03098 Factory image and boot loader cannot be write-protected on flash device on node 0
xflash: Warning: F03148 --quad-spi-clock not given, using default 15.62MHz
xflash: Warning: F03149 QE_REGISTER and/or QE_BIT locations not found in XN file for this flash device. Using default quad_spi_qe_location_status_reg_0 and quad_spi_qe_bit_6.
xrun: Binary not correctly downloaded to target device
Error: F03013 Failed to run : 0x7fff1e5af6c0.
Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
sincerely,
