Failed to debug the SMP cycloneVsoc boards

[CAlex]

Hello, here are my project settings:

1. It will initiate an RTOS.

2. After the RTOS setup is completed, it will load the RBF file of my project using the "dc" method.

3. It will start the SMP and then load two cores.

However, when I use ARMDs for debugging, one （or both） of the cores will get suspended. The reason seems to be that some modules involved in FPGA communication fail to find the address after checking it. When I encounter this issue, I recompile the SOF project in Quartus to generate a new RBF file and then try debugging again with ARMDs. Sometimes this works, but most of the time, it still fails.

I’ve also tried only recompiling my ARMDs project, but the debugging results are always the same after each recompilation. Therefore, the only variable is the Quartus Prime recompilation.

Do you have any solutions for this?

Yours
Alex

Hi CAlex, thanks for the post. I've got a few questions to help me debug this issue.

Do you have a sample project you can upload so that I can check your settings and try and reproduce?

Which board and version of Quartus tools are you using?

How can you tell that the cores are suspended, are you just looking at a message in ArmDS?

Good day, just following up on the previous clarification.

By any chances did you managed to look into it?

Hope to hear from you soon.
