Hello, I've got serious problems with the uVision4 starting a debug session.
1. I hit the debug button in the toolbar. 2. uVision4 starts to upload the programmcode. 3. After successfull upload it says Window Layout in the statusbar and here the trouble start: Sometimes it takes uVision several seconds to get the windows setup. Sometimes it takes way over 30 seconds until uVision4 is ready to debug and sometimes uVision just crashes or freezes.
I must say this is quite an annoying problem with the uVision4 IDE. I like what I've seen so far except this serious problem!
Will this get fixed and is anyone else having similar problems?
Greetings Jan
Hi Wolf, thanks for the tip! I will switch back to using uVision 3 I think. The current behaviour of uVision 4 is not helpfull right now.
Nevertheless I'd be really interested in Keil getting this fixed. Best regards Jan
It is simply amazing that Keil did release uv4 with these issues present. I mean, can you think of a worse way to antagonize users of an IDE?
Jan, can you provide a project that shows this issue to the Keil Support Team (support.intl@keil.com)? We will be happy to look at the issue if we can reproduce it.
Matthias
Matthias, I've been in contact with your colleague from Keil Support. He told me that they've managed to reproduce the issue we are discussing here.
I just got a version for testing which is supposed to correct the issue. Best regards Jan
Hello forum, I just got an update Version of uVision 4 and tested it on my computer. The behaviour has improved and the huge freeze times seem to have vanished so far (I will go on testing though). I got this update from Mr. Zaech from Keil support. You might want to drop him a message to test this version on your machines as well(KeilSupportIntl@arm.com).
Best regards Jan
Jan,
I obtained and applied the update (UV4.03) from Keil but I am still experiencing the same problem. Entering the UV4 debug session still takes maybe 30 seconds.
So I still cant use this until this is resolved.
Thanks anyway,
Stuart.
Stuart, sadly that doesn't sound well! I must say that the version 4.3 did not fix every problem here. It feels smoother for me though. So I think Keil fixed a few but not all problems with starting debug sessions.
I will keep you informed if about any news I get and hope you guys do likewise :)
Best regards! Jan
Just to let everyone know. Keil have now fixed my problem with UV4 delays in going into debug with an updated version - mkd402ao
Stuart,
When can we expect it to hit the market...?
Dear All,
a new release will be available in December 2009 which address this issue.

Nice one! I am looking forward to that version and am curious about the improvements!
MDK402.exe still contains the debug hang-up problem :-(
After the debug starts, I have to wait several minutes before I can start with the debugger...
Yes I can confirm this behaviour after several hours of intense usage of uVision 4.02.
I switched back to 3.x weeks ago since uVision 4.x is unuseable.
I installed MDK 4.03 (=4.02i) which comes along uv4 4.00r. I did not use it too much yet, but it looks good to me.
Sounds good. I am gonna try that in the afternoon.
MDK 4.03 with the ULINK2 firmware update works fine :-)
