Address exceeds maximum size (TMS470/TMS570)

What does the error message "Address exceeds maximum size" mean?

Every address within the trace region defined by base address + size must not exceed 18 bits (RAM) or 24 bits (peripheral), respectively.

TOP

address matched to blocksize (TMS470/TMS570)

What does the warning "Entered address has been corrected to match the current blocksize" mean?

The base address of the section to be traced must always be a multiple of the specified blocksize. If not, it will automatically be truncated to the next lower valid address.

TOP

Missing RAM/Peripheral address (TMS470/TMS570)

What does the error message "Internal error: No RAM/Peripheral address defined for this CPU" mean?

This error occurs if the base address of the RAM and/or peripheral address space is not configured for the current device.
<BR>
You can configure the base address(es) by the following PRACTICE commands:
<BR>
<BR>
SYStem.CONFIG.RAMBASE <address> ; RAM base address
<BR>
SYStem.CONFIG.PERBASE <address> ; Peripheral base address

Target FIFO overflow (TMS470/TMS570)

How to avoid "TARGET FIFO OVERFLOW" error messages in the trace window?

  • Increase the traceport data throughput via RTP.PortClock.
  • Increase the frequency of the system clock (HCLK) in relation to the CPU clock (GCLK).
  • Reduce the size of the RAM area to be traced via RTP.TraceMode.RAM<x>.SECTion<y>.Size.
  • Include some ′nop′ operations in the relevant parts of your target’s executable code.

RTP command is locked (TMS540/TMS570)

How to unlock the ′RTP′ command?

The ′RTP′ command is locked if no valid RTP register base address is configured for the current device.
To do so, enter the following PRACTICE commands:

SYStem.CONFIG.RTPBASE <address> ; RTP register base address
SYStem.CONFIG.RAMBASE <address> ; Base of RAM address space
SYStem.CONFIG.PERBASE <address> ; Base of peripheral address space
