Suddenly can't debug

We've been able to find the root cause. The order of the elf files is extremely important - they must be in the correct address order, as in the image flashed at address 0x0 must come first, thereafter the second lower image, and so forth.

In asset_tracker this means the following order must be present in order for symbol loading to work correctly, and hence placing of breakpoints from source code.

Please go to Project -> Options -> Debugger.

And then change the order to this (see image below):

Debug Symbols File [0]: $(ProjectDir)/mcuboot/zephyr/zephyr.elf

Debug Symbols File [1]: $(ProjectDir)/spm/zephyr/zephyr.elf

Debug Symbols File [2]: $(ProjectDir)/zephyr/zephyr/zephyr.elf

Please try this and confirm that debugging now works in SES.

Note: This workaround lets you debug your application but not mcuboot or spm, so it's only a temporary solution.

Heidi,

Can you tell me if this bug is in the v1.2.0 release. I can't update if this still a problem. Thanks.

You will have to open up a terminal and navigate to the ncs/nrf folder.

Then run the following commands

git checkout v1.1-branch

git pull

west update

Hi,

I am a beginner with this. Could you please explain further how to switch to tag v1.1.0?

Regards,

Linh

Hi,

This is, unfortunately, a bug when working on the master branch of NCS. If it's possible for you to switch to tag v1.1.0 for debugging, this error won't appear.

Best regards,

Heidi
