Can't use debugger on MavOS X

Posted by doraemon on 2017-09-07 04:18

Hello!

I installed SW4 and I have problme to use the debugger.

What it does:
After building the application, I run in debug mode with project righ-click->debug as->AC6 STM32 C/C++ application
It starts like every debugger would. The int main() is highlit with a green background.
If I press continue, it seems to start the program (I have set a led toggle in systick and it works). However, the
highlight is still green on the same line (main).
Simultaneousley, I have many lines (30 ~ 50 of them) in the console saying Error: JTAG failure -4.

Any idea how to solve this?

Dora.

---------
Configurations as follows:
Eclipse IDE version Neon.3 release 4.6.3
Installed from package install_sw4stm32_macos_64bits-v2.2.run
downloaded a few days ago. The installer seems to behave normally (i.e. no error).

--- Here is what the console says when starting the debugger, before pressing continue -----

Hello Dora,

Thanks for the detailled description of the issue, will try this on our side.
Could you simply indicate your OSX version?

Hello,

First, you can update the stlink firmware to the latest version (V2 J28).
You can find the stlink firmware upgrade on ST website.

Then, it seems you didn’t connect the Vdd mcu to the stlink since the log says target voltage measured at 0V.
Maybe not important but if you can connect it, it’s better.

Did you connect the STlink reset line to the mcu reset pin ?

The STlink is from a nucleo board ?
If yes, did you remove the 2 jumper for Nucleo mode ?

How did you create the project ?

Maybe you can try a simple project without interrupts first.

Rgds,
Laurent

Hello!

Sorry for the delay.
My OSX is the latest one. It says MacOS Sierra Version 10.12.6

Done, but no change.

I don’t think it’s important, and I even think it would do more harm than good. My board (custom) is powered
externally. Beside this, it works pedfectly with IAR, so I think it’s a software problem.

Yes.

Yes, its’ a STLink, but it’s cut-off from the board in order to make it smaller.

With my fingers...
Joke aside: I have made it with CubeMX. It used to work fine untile I installed some
upgrades to the IDE.

LaurentL wrote:

Do you mean that interrupts can cause problems to the software? In this case, it would
certainly be a big issue for me because I can’t program without interrupts.

Thanks,

Dora.

Hello again!

How can I quote text? I tried some code I use on other forums, but apparently it doesn’t work. It simply
strips the square brackets.

Thanks,
Dora.
