Note 1.

When the build tool is other than GHS CCRH850, only “.abs” can be specified. When the build tool is GHS CCRH850, there is no restriction on the filename extension.

Note 2.

“.run” can be specified only when the build tool is GHS CCRH850.

Note 1.

For details, see the release notes of GHS products.

Note 2.

-cpu=rh850 is synonymous with -cpu=rh850g3k.

Note 3.

Linker changes execution code. However, the changes are not reflected on the debug information.

Notes on debugging

-

The following three methods are available when a load module file from the GHS compiler is in use.

-

Create a debug-dedicated project and add the load module file that has been built.

-

Specify [Empty Application(GHS CCRH850)] as the project type, create, and build a project.

-

Specify [Using Existing GHS Project File(GHS CCRH850)] as the project type, create a project, and add the load module file that has been built.

 

For the project type, see "CS+ GHS CCRH850 Build Tool Operation".

-

Select [Green Hills Software] in the [Compiler Vendor] property in the Download Files dialog box to add the load module file.

-

The followings are not supported:

-

C++

-

Programs with C99 own type or modifier

-

Programs with gnu c extensional specs

-

Step or Execution related functions

Executing return out functions from the following function may fail. And call history on the Call Stack panel is not shown incorrect.

-

Functions is called by callt

-

Interrupt Functions

-

Reference function of variables using expressions

-

When long long type or double type variables are located to register, only lower 4 bit register name is shown in address column in the Watch panel. CS+ gets upper 4 bit value from next to lower 4 bit register.
For example, if R4 is shown in the address column, then CS+ will get the upper 4 bit value from R5.

-

When structure type variables are located to a registers, correct value of structure members aren't shown on the Watch panel. See the value that is show in register of [address] area on the CPU Register panel.

-

Even using an expression with scope specify, it is impossible to refer defined static variables in functions. When a program counter exists in the function that the static variables are defined in, it is possible to refer it.

func(){
    static  sta = 100;
}

In the above case, during debugging func(), it is possible to refer both "sta" and "func()#sta". During debugging functions except func(), it is possible to refer neither "sta" nor "func()#sta".

-

As stack frame is not generated at a start point of a function, passed address of a variable via the stack is not correct. Please refer value of a variable after stepping in the function.

-

Other than the above

-

It is not possible to invalidate the Symbol name completion function (a specification of [Generate the information for input completion] item in the Download Files dialog box will be ignored).

 

You can change the download files or download conditions in the following Download Files dialog box.

The Download Files dialog box is opened by clicking the [...] button that appears at the right edge in the column of the [Download files] property when you select it in the [Download] category on the [Download File Settings] tab of the Property panel.

Advanced Downloading (Download Files Dialog Box)

 

This section describes how to configure on the Download Files dialog box above when the following cases.

 

2.5.2.1 Change download conditions for load module files

2.5.2.2 Add download files (*.hex/*.mot/*.bin)

2.5.2.3 Download multiple load module files

2.5.2.4 Perform source level debugging with files other than the load module file format
