[tcf-dev] FW: Agent unplants breakpoints for unknown reason

[<Stefan.Falk@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I can now give a better description of my problem:

What I want to do is to pretend as if there were only Hardware-Breakpoints. Only cpu_bp_plant() and cpu_bp_remove() have to handle the breakpoints on the debug-device side (which both are already capable of).

But if I set e.g. two breakpoints in Eclipse, cpu_bp_remove() gets called, because those BPs were not declared as "Hardware". The problem is that I can only declare those breakpoints as "Hardware" at runtime.

Can I somehow work around this problem? I need the TCF Agent treat any breakpoint as "Hardware" Breakpoint because basically this is what they appear to be on the TCF Agent side. Is it possible to declare Hardware-Breakpoints inside Eclipse IDE using the TCF Plugin without having to run the program at least once (Right-Click at Breakpoint -> Breakpoint properties -> check "Hardware")?

Best regards and thank you for any help here!

By "unknown reason" I mean, that it is just not clear to me what I have to do to prevent the agent from calling

int cpu_bp_remove(ContextBreakpoint * bp)

when it is not intended:

I managed to set and plant breakpoints, let Eclipse go into debug-mode, display a hit breakpoint and all registers of my microcontroller so far.

The problem is as I click "resume" in Eclipse, for some reason cpu_bp_remove() in my cpudefs-mdep.c gets called. I tried to debug through it but I can't seem to find out why my agent is doing this. I compared the original unmodified agent, which does not enter this function if I just click resume for a Win32 application.

Is anybody familiar with that part I need to understand/know here? This would be my last milestones which would allow me to (very simply) debug a i8051 device in Eclipse.

Thank you for any hints or help!

Best regards
