Greetings,

If you use a blank project and without making any code changes are you able to flash and debug your device? If not, then we need to start from there.

Note, that the USB ML Universal FX is very fast interface, while the DSC is not so. What you may need to do is lower the debug shift frequency within debug configurations. Right click your project -> Debug as -> Debug configurations. Then find the "edit connection" button and lower the shift frequency to option 22, which is around 1 Mhz. Then try again.

Greetings,

The logging is in the console window.

If you already have the DSC board powered via external power, then it is wise not to provide power to target via the multilink FX. 

After you compile your code with your source code, try using our PROG software for DSC devices. PROG DSC is one of our rare free software we provide:
http://www.pemicro.com/products/product_viewDetails.cfm?product_id=15320158

Grab the ELF file from your workspace and try programming it using our tools. If it passes, then we know that something in the project settings or debug settings are causing the problem. Our PROG tool just simply programs the ELF file and does not attempt to debug it. Try programming multiple times in PROG DSC for good measure.

Hello Takao,
I tested PROGDSC. With this FLASH PROGRAMMER I'm be able to put my .ELF file inside the DSC.

I done 5 times this operations:
- Erase Module
- Program Module
- Verify Module

I obtained 0 errors.

Now. It seem:
-> Elf file is OK
-> Multilink FX is OK
-> My board is OK (but I worked fine with USB TAP)
-> I can't debug with CODEWARRIOR....

Can you solve it?

Thank you very much

Hello Takao,
I done several test and now I can fully debug my application. 
I find a very strange condition and I like to know what do you think about it.

This is a little part of my original code:

- - - - 
const unsigned char SwVer[]="00.01";    

void CopySub(unsigned char *Str, unsigned char *numCar)
{
unsigned char gg;

*numCar=gg=0;

while (SwVer[gg])      
   {
   *Str = SwVer[gg++];
   Str++;
   (*numCar)++;
   }      

return;
} 

- - - - 

CopySub simply copy a const string in another string.
If I compile this code it's ok and I can program and run this code.
I can debug this code with USB TAP.
But I'm not be able to debug it with MULTILINK FX.
Running the debugger it returns this error code:
"Failed to resume target process. GDI Procotol fatal error: : An error occurred while trying to read memory"

SOLUTION:
If I change first line in this way:
unsigned char SwVer[]="00.01";    //SwVer[] it's not CONST STRING!!

I'm be able to fully debug my program.....

What do you think about it?
Do you think this is a bug problem?
Where?  In the CODEWARRIOR IDE or in the Multilink fx development interface?


Best regards

Greetings,

This is odd and I have never heard of such problem. Could you go to Support page -> Support requests and could you share your source code? Or portions of your source code that can compile so that we can replicate and look into this?
