µVISION DEBUGGER: DUPLICATE BREAKPOINTS W/TRISCEND TE5_UV2.D

Information in this article applies to:

• C51 Version 6.23 and later
• Triscend TE5_UV2.DLL v 2.3.0.0
• Triscend Fast Chip v 2.3.0.0

QUESTION

I am using the Triscend Fastchip custom code banking file L51_BANK.A51 that uses the Triscend hardware special code mapper SFR's to accomplish code banking.

Breakpoints that I set in one code bank appear in other code banks. For example, if I set a breakpoint at address 0x8000 in bank 0, a breakpoint appears at 0x8000 in bank 1. When I view the breakpoints in the Breakpoints dialog (Debug- Breakpoints) the duplicate ("ghost") breakpoints are not listed. What's going on?

ANSWER

This is a known problem in the v 2.3.0.0 TE5_UV2.DLL from Triscend. "Ghost" breakpoints will appear in the debug window additional code banks. However, the µVision Debugger does not stop program execution on these "ghost" breakpoints. To see the actual active breakpoints use Debug - Breakpoints to view the Breakpoints dialog.
