Can't debug with S110 7.0.0 using SDK6.1.0

[daveengineer]

First I load soft device through nRFgo. Then I run debug with eclipse. I then step through code in main.c ...

(I'm using QFAAG0 chip)

Stepping worked fine when I used SDK4.4.1 and S110 5.2.1. Stepping fails when I used SDK6.1.0 and S110 7.0.0. Hits signal trap. Can't step through code. However I verified program is loaded and runs correctly when I power cycle.

(Do I need to set the program counter manually?)

I have attached my log file for the failing case.

Have you check the linker script ? The start address for v7 is at 0z16000 while older versions start at 0x14000

I don't know where to find linker script.I am using the Eclipse GUI.

is it a makefile project or an Eclipse project ? Perhaps you can try this site embeddedsoftdev.blogspot.ca/.../ehal-nrf51.html. It's Eclipse based development. All examples are compiled with SDK 6.1 and s110 v7

I checked link file gcc_nrf51_s110_xxaa.ld in the source\templates directory, and it shows 0x16000. The strange this is even though debug/stepping does not work, when I power cycle the device, the program in the device works correctly. (ble_app_hrs)

Are you using Eclipse Luna ? Looks like the Luna problem with the gnuarm plugins.
