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
Greetings all,
I can confirm the same problem. Installed the MDK-ARM V4.01 update, and in uVision4, it's impossible to begin a debug session. The IDE (uVision4) completely freezes, windoze wants to send a bug report (no, thanks..).
Switched back to uVision3 for the time being: No problem there, repeatedly.
Target: LPC2478 with an own hardware, using both the LPC's internal FLASH, plus external FLASH. Debugger: uLink2 .
While downloading the code into FLASH (via uLink2), it's advisable NOT to switch the focus away from the uVision main window because the window seems to freeze (it doesn't, it just stops to update the progress bar). But this was a minor error which also existed in uVision3; the FLASH download completes some time later and the main window gets alive again. Not so with the debugger - the uVision4 window freezes, and doesn't return no matter how long I wait.
Cheers, Wolfgang "Wolf" .
There is actually an issue when downloading to flash (which exists with UV3 too, but is less likely to happen). On Windows XP (and newer) Windows itself sometimes marks the uVision window as "Not responding", if you click on it while the flash download is in progress. This does not affect the download itself, but does bring up a dialog that asks to close the "not responding" application. If you ignore that the download will just finish and the debugger should run normal. Is this the issue you describe?
