Hi!

I've been trying to debug and .elf file in Aurix Development Studio.

I use a TC38x MCU with a miniwiggler v3 and I would like to flash/debug and externally compiled program. For compiling TASKING compiler is used so as I know it should be compatible with ADS.

I've already tried to import the elf file as a "C/C++ Executable" and as a "TASKING Tricore C/C++ Executbale File for Debugging" but I could not create a proper debug configuration. The ADS always complains about the missing target configuration.

Do I miss something in connection with the configuration?

Does anybody know any kind of resource related to the topic? Or if you have already done debugging of an external elf file I would appreaciate your experience too.

Thank you for your help in advance.

Is there any news on this ? We are facing the same issue. We are using an external build toolchain, and we would like to use the Aurix Development studio for debugging purposes only. So this means I would like to flash the elf files and also include the project files in the IDE so I am able to browse the code and set breakpoints, etc.

Is it possible ?

To setup the Aurix Development studio so that it builds the code is beyond our scope. We just want to use the tool for debugging.

Hi guys,

Have you guys tried to set your project active and then create a debug configuration?

I just found this idea.

Any news on this use case? It seems like more people is interested on debugging programs NOT build with the TASKING tool chain.

Hi, It depends on the Hardware you are using. We used miniwiggler and we were able to put it into debug mode.
