NXP/ST Power Architecture: Trace trigger doesn't work – Analyzer remains in WAITING state 17-Sep-2024
Nexus Event Out Pin (EVTO) signal is used in winIDEA as a trace trigger, but it is not enabled. Possible solution To generate the trigger event (EVTO), enable it in the Trigger Configuration window: 1. Open View | Analyzer . 2. Click the Analyzer Configuration button. 3. Check the Manual H...
File size/disk space considerations for trace 16-Sep-2024
Possible solutions File size is limited Trace file size is software-limitedby the Recording Size Limit setting in theRecorder Configuration dialog. Make sure you set a large enough limit (e.g. can be specified in GB, as well as TB). Enough disk space available Ensure that the drive on whic...
Signal integrity issue 13-Aug-2024
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...
Buffer (FIFO) overflows 29-Jul-2024
In some cases, CPU is not able to stream the trace data quickly enough which results in overflow errors. Errors are displayed in the Analyzer Output window and indicated in theTrace window with brown colored lines. Possible solutions Limit the scope of the recorded variables (e.g. task/irq...
Error: Disk quota exceeded 26-Jul-2024
When trying to run Analyzer from winIDEA, trace fails and an error message displays Disk quota exceeded . Possible solution 1. In the Analyzer window press Options . 2. In theGeneral tab adjust thesettings in Remaining disk quota in GB . 3. Verify how much disk space you actually have on a...
BlueBox trace buffer is full 22-Jul-2024
When the Analyzer stops sampling with the note Trace sampling stopped, reason: Buffer full,a situation hasoccurredin which the trace RAM buffer of the BlueBox is full and no longer able to accept new data. This happens when trace data is being received faster than the BlueBox is capable of...
NXP/ST Power Architecture: Trace does not work when in SAFE mode 18-Apr-2024
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
Trace, Profiler and/or Coverage functionalities are not available 18-Apr-2024
Trace, Profiler and/or Coverage functionalities are not available on all devices. See What if my CPU does not support trace?
Missing program code 18-Apr-2024
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 complete code image for the correct trace reconstruction. The code not reported in the download file or...
What if my target device doesn't support trace? 27-Dec-2023
Sampling With this approach, you can periodically sample variables (data variables or program execution) via a debug port. The concept of Profiler Sampling is mainly used for statistical analysis or for sampling rather slowly changing variables and cyclic program execution. Emulation Adapt...
