daqIDEA: Using multiple Symbol Files

If you are debugging with multiple symbol files, you must add the symbol file name to each symbol name. This ensures that every symbol name and variable is uniquely identified. If you have more than one application defined, make sure to specify a fully qualified name for each variable.

Possible solutions

Select a suitable ELF file

When more than one ELF file is listed in the Symbol Files list, the file you want to debug with daqIDEA should be listed as the first item and selected as the Default file for debugging.

1. Open Debug | Configure Session | Applications | Symbol Files.

2. Click the right arrow button to move a suitable ELF file to the top of the list.

3. Select the suitable ELF file as the Default file for debugging. 

Use Watch window to select variables from different ELF files

Via the Watch window you can link variables directly to daqIDEA.

1. Create a Watch window via View | Debug | Watches | Create.

2. Click on Add new watch and select a suitable core in the Process section.

3. Select the variable.

4. Copy the Name string of the variable from the Watch window and paste it into daqIDEA, eg. debugLoopCount,,,App_Cortex-M4/Cortex-M4.
