Hi!
I start to learn STM32 (STM32F103GB on MCBSTM32 board, example project "blinky") and have faced with following problem: I can't insert breakpoint in C and "insert/remove breakpoint" button on Debug Toolbar always disabled. The only way to define breakpoint is double-click on grey window bar in disasm window. Program executed, breakpoint in disasm occurs... but what can I do to use breakpoits in C?
Regards, Ilya.
I am useng newest version of MDK-ARM and ST-Link programmer. When program is downloaded and run, it is not possible to set or clear breakpoints. You must stop the program, set breakpoints and start program. This is not issue with hardware, because this works with IAR IDE.
Any ideas how to get this functionality in Keil IDE?
I have J-link and ULINK debuggers. Using ULINK I can set and clear breakpoints even when the software runs, but if I use J-link I can only set/clear first breakpoint, and I cannot set second breakpoint until I stop execution. I don't know what is causing this but I don't think it's a big deal to stop and then set a breakpoint.
I don't think it's a big deal to stop and then set a breakpoint. Depends on the application.
If application is working in a more complex system, let's say with CAN communication and motor control, you can't afford to stop the program just to set a breakpoint.....
You can set your breakpoints before run or you can set advanced breakpoints
