We bought starter kit for the ST7FMC.
1. I have problems with compiling the 1905 and run it, so I asked Metrowerks, and they told me that ST also has a simulator. Not only In-Dart. Is it true ? How can I get it ? 2. I have account, but it says \''You are not subscriber of ST Microcontroller Support Site.\'' How do I subscribe ? 3. what is the difference between ST DVP (2 or 3) and ST EMU (2 or 3) emulators ? What is the difference between those and the in-dart comes with the starter kit ?2005-09-26 08:18 PM
Hi.
What kind of problems do u have? Try another compiler (Cosmic). I compiled library with cosmic and ran on in-dart (Softec) w/o problems. Limited version of Merowerks compiler supports up to 1k. To compile library u definitely need more.2005-09-26 08:47 PM
Hi omatza,
ST gives you a very confortable debugger with the STVD7 (Visual Debugger) for free. You can download it from the ST site as STVD7 or as part of the ST7 toolset. I use it with the MetroWerks Compiler and it works fine. As I remember, I have had to select an option of the linker to get the ELF/DWARF-file for the STVD7. But I'm no longer sure how to do it. Maybe [Edit]-[''project'' Settings]-[Linker for St7]-[options][output]-[ELF/DWARF:Generate fixups in abs file], but better you contact Metrowerks to make sure. Regards WoRo2005-09-27 02:27 AM
Hello All
Thanks for your advices. The issue with changing the format is defently correct. In Metrowerks version 1.1 the output format was hiware. (option -Fh) In Metrowerks version 2.0 the output format is elf. (option -F2) It needs to be changed in the environment (as woro said) and in makefiles!!!. My problem is that: I compile my project , load it with in-dart and start debug. If I use metrowerks version 1.1 everything is ok, and I see the C program variables values. :) If I use 2.0, and compile to elf format, then some of the variables doesn't show correct value, and it says simbol not recognize in current context. :( If I compile with hiware format, the compilation ends without errors but .abs file is not created. In Cosmic, I see most of the variables correctly, not all of it. Does anybody has answer to the questions I asked about: 1. what is the difference between ST DVP (2 or 3) and ST EMU (2 or 3) emulators ? 2. I have account, but it says \''You are not subscriber of ST Microcontroller Support Site.\'' How do I subscribe ? I also didn't find the simulator yet. (What I mean is something like the zap from Cosmic.) Thanks Oren
