Trace recording is incomplete because of the big gaps in time and trace message number, with ITM Synchronization lost messages in between.This typically happens due to the SWO clock instability, or too high of SWO data rate. Possible solution 1. Update to the latest winIDEA version . 2. Ad...
Solution After you have successfully connected hardware and selected the current range according to the shunt resistor (JB1 jumper block), and voltage range depending on your target power supply range ( JB2 jumper block ) on the Power Probe, configure the following settings in winIDEA . Mo...
Non-optimal Target PCB design(different line lengths , vias, stubs, etc.)and other hardware accessories (connectors, power supply, etc.) can degrade the electrical signals. Therefore while transferring information at high frequencies from the Target CPU to the BlueBox, signal integrity iss...
On-Chip trace logic monitors the CPU execution inside the SoC. O btained data is compressed using trace protocols and either: Streamed out through the trace port, where BlueBox debugger is capturing the data on the trace port. Each sample is time-stamped by the BlueBox timer. Captured in t...
Error message AGBT FIFO overflow indicates that TriCore’s internal FIFO overflowed, which means that in a short time too many trace messages were written into FIFO. The below steps explain in the TC3xx example how to define custom triggers, use an algorithmic approach, halving the range to...
If a Missing program code message is displayed in the trace, it means that the program was executed at addresses where no code image is available in the download file. The debugger needs a complete code image for the correct trace reconstruction. The code not reported in the download file ...
Error message AGBT FIFO overflow indicates that TriCore’s internal FIFO overflowed, which means that in a short time too many trace messages were written into FIFO. The below steps explain on the TC3xx example how to define custom triggers and use an algorithmic approach to find two or mor...
Trace window content is not refreshed properly after the trace recording is finished and uploaded. Possible solution Scroll the results using PgUp/PgDd. More resources in winIDEA Help Trace window
This topic visualisessteps on how to define custom triggers and use an algorithmic approach to find two or more problematic functions that generate too many trace messages in a wider range which are described in the topic How to find two or more problematic functions in a wider range if AG...
CAN/LIN module enables recording CAN and LIN messages as standalone operation with or without using debug. A detailed description of the configuration is available in winIDEA Help .
ADIO module enables recording analog and digital signals as standalone operation with or without using debug. Detailed description of the configuration is available in winIDEA Help .
By default the fast internal RC oscillator (FIRC) is used for generating the trace clock.The resistor and capacitor values(RC components) of this oscillator show significant tolerances due to the nature of themanufacturing process and also vary upon differences in supplied voltage and work...
Errors like missing data, no trace messages shown in the terminal window, or data displayed at the wrong address in the trace recording can be a result of SWO tracing during the PLL initialization. SWO trace during the PLL ( Phase-Locked Loop) initialization is not supported by winIDEA. Po...
Solution Refer to Configure Micro Trace Buffer (MTB) trace in winIDEA Help. More resources in winIDEA Help Micro Trace Buffer (MTB) Analyzer Operation mode
First check, whether your CPU supports trace - refer to the topic Trace is not licensed . Possiblesolutions Trace Buffer is configured in Hardware | CPU Options | SoC. Default The option Use all available memory for trace buffer should work in most cases assuming that complete TCM memory i...
When starting a new Analyzer session, winIDEA displays an error message, although a l icense for the trace is purchased. Possible solutions Determine what trace technology is available on your target Open Hardware | CPU Options | Analyzer and check if the trace Operation mode can not be se...
In corner cases, it can happen that multiple valid regions are visible in the trace calibration diagram (shown as gaps or ‘eyes’) and a non-working setting is recommended by the Trace Line Calibration tool. When such a setting is selected, the trace session will fail to trigger and the ana...
MPC5675 K can stay in SAFE mode which disables the MCKO signal and the trace does not work. Possible solution Use the below init sequence which switches CPU from SAFE into DRUN mode: A RGM_FES W 0x4080 A ME_MCTL L 0x30005AF0 A ME_MCTL L 0x3000A50F
