PSoC™ Creator & Designer Forum Discussions

I have a miniprog4 and running creator 4.3, I am having mahjor issues with debugging.  First off we are using OTA Fixed stack bootloader, which is difficult to emulate because the tool cannot handle the bootloader, so when you connect via "Attach to running targer" you only can connect and run to break once, then you have to stop debugging and start over, please do not say "just debug your program and then add the OTA" that is wishful thinking and not viable in the field, there has to be some way to effectively emulate this scenario.  At least I could see values on the debugger, but that has changed now.

We have tried a miniprog 3 and also 4.2 same results.

We are completely frozen for code development, this must be address immediately.

Since upgrading to 4.3 and the miniprog4 I can get no data on break, and more over, I cannot even stop and restart emulation, I can ONLY, attach to the target and run to a break point, no data is present by the emulator.  Below are

1. My created setup

2. Output windown details on a break

3. Image of an attempt to continue after attach and stop, tells me I am inserting break point, but there are no break point set?
