Intermittent crashes when debugging C8051F330

Trying to in-circuit debug code on the Silabs C8051F330 using the Silabs USB debug adapter, I experience frequent freezes/crashes when starting/stopping execution using uVision 4.20. When I debug the same code in the same manner using the Silabs IDE, I never experience crashes.

The error message I get is "Invalid Target response".

There are certain features I prefer in uVision when debugging, otherwise I would use the Silicon Labs IDE.

I am using the latest SiLabs uVision driver (3.5.0)

This has been an issue with all previous versions of uVision and earlier SiLabs drivers as well.

Thanks for any advice.

There are certain features I prefer in uVision when debugging, otherwise I would use the Silicon Labs IDE.

well, Keil and SILabs are notorious for being "out of synch" and there are other issues, years ago I gave up on debugging through Keil.

Just curious what are the "certain features" It cant be a problem with an extra field on the taskbar.

well, using CodeWright instead of the "very simplistic" Keil editor I am not IDEing fully, maybe that relates to my "so what" having the debugger outside.
