Halting debugger & switching cores?

Post by Interactive_Matter »

Hi,

I got strange problems with my program on XMOS (does not matter what, will find it out). But on thing puzzles me with the debugger:

I can halt the whole XMOS to see what it is doing. But I have not yet found a button or something to switch from thread to thread to see what the different threads are doing and why they are not doing what I intended.

The debugger window only shows me one core and there only one thread.

Am I missing something in the IDE?

Thanks

Marcus

Im also asking my self that since after like a year i just updated to the latest tools yesterday and now debug only shows the thread you halted in instead of a list of all cores and threads. Is there a setting in the new tools to get that back?

Hi,

The issue with the threads in the Debug view is known and has been fixed this end. This fix should be available in a point release avaliable soon (11.2.1). (It was caused by a late change that unfortunately slipped through our testing unnoticed!). Apologies for this.

Cheers,
Kris.

No problem,

Just thought I was to dumb to use the tools.

Looking forward to that release.

BTW: Really like the tools. Lots of things can be improved. But what I got right now is really great.

Whishlist:
- it seems that unsigned/signed conversion does not seem to throw a warning (my ipression - can be wrong)
- better code completion for XC
- better source code auto formatting for XC (port <: value; ends up ugly)

Overall: grats!

The 11.2.1 tools are now available on xmos.com, this should resolve your debugger issue.
