Debugging asm code in IDE

Have you tried using the Disassembly View Mode button?

It’s the button that looks like an upside down stack of gold blocks, when in debug mode.

I had the same problem,

try to set a breakpoint in C/C++ Perspective, in the tree view, at the function

name,your assembly routine (right click, add breakpoint).

the debugger stops then at the beginning of the assembly routine, from

then on breakpoints also work in asm code.

Hm, doesn't work for me. The self written assembly code is missing any debug information. So there is no function name in the tree to set a break point on it.

How do I write asm code to "convince" the compiler/assembler to add debug code?

Here is my tiny example "call_asm.S":

.align 2

.global call_asm

call_asm:

addi r2, r4, 1

ret

I used to debug using "ddd" and this works fine with this asm code.

Cheers

Hi, here is an asm sample, where I could set breakpoints

also I have enabled in menu

"Window->preferences->C/C++->Debug"

check mark "Disassembly option" "Automatically switch to disassembly mode"

perhaps this helps
