JTAG debug?

[mbruck]

JTAG debug support for AVR compilers... When?
Why PIC developers are privileged with mikroICD almost from beginning?

Hi,

We will support COFF file generate from the next release of AVR compilers. So, you will be able to debug code written in our AVR compilers with JTAG from AVR Studio.

[mbruck]

No, no...

Not with COFF and AVR studio..... FROM compiler, as same as for PIC.

It is not in our plans for the near future.

Well, better than nothing then... Do you know when can we expect this feature ?

Hi,

next release of AVR compiler is expected to be available by the end of the October.

hello,

is this supposed to be working with the current beta?

i can get COFF file generated but i'm having problem opening it in AVR Studio

when i open it and create a new projects, avr studio asks for path to sources of libraries (they're not supplied) and then asks for path to empty string
and after that, it complains it has no main()

Mapped files at 'C:\Program Files\Mikroelektronika\mikroC PRO for AVR\Uses\LTE64KW\' to 'C:\atmel\timer\'.
Mapped files at '' to ''.
JTAGICE mkII: Program entry function 'main' was not defined.

what are the correct steps to get it working?

thanks

Hi,

Please send us your project (project folder with all files in it) if possible to http://www.mikroe.com/en/support/
Thanks.

Thanks.

well, i've created an empty project with just one line (PORTA=0;) and it's the same (except it's not looking for library sources because there are none linked)

mikroc 2.10, avr studio 4.17

just tell me whether it works for you (opening coff file generated by mikroc in avr studio and being able to debug it with source code) and i'll find the problem if it's something about my setup

Hi,

It works fine, please check instructions in mikroC help on using JTAGICE mkII debugger.

thanks, that got me further (had to check "Open platform options next time debug mode is entered" checkbox and select correct options there)

now i gotta find out why there's a mismatch between the current position and arrow in c code window

"It works fine, please check instructions in mikroC help on using JTAGICE mkII debugger."

May I know if there is debug support in mikroC Pro 1.45 for the MKII debugger for ICE?

I don't see any comment on the JTAGICE from searching the MikroC Pro help file.

Thanks!

there is a coff file generation support (maybe only in mikroc 2 beta), no support for debugging, you have to debug in avr studio (using that coff file)

[JeffAC0C]

Oh, yes. I see now. This applies to the v2.10 only. Thanks!

In my view, you should reconsider implementing JTAG debugging with JTAGICE MKII into your otherwise brilliant software. I am currently dearly missing that function as AVR Studio seems to disassemble strange call-statements that do not appear during the normal function and which lets the program continue at some "data or unknown opcode"...

yours,
Dawn
