I didn't buy the license from Fist Silicon SOlutions company. Can I set the break point? I tried but didn't succeed.

thx!

I believe you cannot set hardware BP's but you can set up to 3 software BP's.

Hi cloud,

I didn't purchase the FSS license either, but I _can_ set hardware

breakpoints. Make sure you selected the appropriate option in

SOPC builder, then use:

bkpt sethw <addr>

E.g. a dump from a nios2-console session:

System Analyzer for Nios® II Processor

Serial number

Version 1.9.0 build 9

cd c:/work/PCI5441/u-boot

1> halt

User halt.

00DEDE00 0xdf000115 stw fp, 4(sp)

2> bkpt sethw 0

{0x00000000 hw}

3> go

Emulation started.

Hardware breakpoint.

00000000 0x0001703a wrctl status, r0

4> license

nios-unlimited-swb invalid

nios-unlimited-xbrk invalid

nios-trigger invalid

nios-instruction-trace invalid

nios-data-trace invalid

nios-pm-counter
