A problem with the eclipse debugger

[nike9307]

Hi.
Ever since i got OpenOCD working, i’ve had a small, but sometimes very annoying problem with Eclipse.
When i open a debugging session, a tab with some random name (in this case 0x8001e94) appears with my files. This can get somewhat problematic because that name can get really long and take a lot of space.
It may have something to do with the

{No source file named C:\STM32Toolchain\projects\STM32F103NEW\src\main.c.}

error in the console. That was a project that existed before i got OpenOCD to run properly.

It’s something i can live with, but it would be nice if it were gone 🙂

Hi,
Try this (if you still haven’t found a solution):

– Go inside the workspace directory (e.g. C:\STM32Toolchain\projects).
– Then enter inside the .metadata/.plugins/org.eclipse.e4.workbench subfolder (you may need a better terminal emulator, like conemu)
– Open the file workbench.xmi and look for that memory address (0x800e00).
– Delete the corresponding “” tag and all subtags.

If you don’t have the right experience with XML, then I suggest to delete the workbench.xmi file.

Let me know if this helps.

Hello,
I don’t know a lot about XML, so i just deleted the file (well i moved it to the desktop, just to be sure). And it worked like a charm – it fixed the 0x8001e94 thing. If anyone wants to try this – keep in mind that it did reset all the settings for my debugging windows, so take a picture of your setup before you do it.
The “No source file named …” is still present, but i don’t pay attention to that one. I just mentioned just in case they are connected in some way.
Thank you for the help. Its is much appreciated.

Sorry to bother you again, but the problem still exists. This time it is a long one. I can’t see any obvious reason for this .

Are you using an RTOS or something like that?

[nike9307]

No i haven’t gotten around to messing with RTOS yet.

I’ve updated my toolchain to the latest available packages (Neon and CDT 8.8) and the problem popped out also in my case. I suspect that this is a bug connected with Eclipse/CDT toolchain, or something related to the support to GDB. However, in my case is sufficient to close that debug view.

I noticed that the problem arises when OpenOCD is not running or it isn’t ready to accept commands from GDB.

In that case i hope they fix it soon. Thank you for the help 🙂
