Release history

9.20.3, Oct 2015

New features

• Improved support for banked XDATA memory. For devices with a 16-bit data pointer which support banking of the XDATA memory space, the option --proc_xdata_banking can be specified in Project>Options>Debugger>Extra Options. This enables C-SPY to manage the DPTR register and the PDATA/XDATA stack pointers properly.

9.20.1, May 2015

Program corrections

• EW25377
  It is not possible to use the 'Download extra image' options because the 'Offset' input field does not accept input.

9.10.1, Dec 2014

Program corrections

• EW22133
  The Stack plug-in is not compatible with the extended stack present in the Analog Devices ADE devices.

• EW24619
  Pdata stack incorrectly reported as out of range.

8.30.1, Dec 2013

Program corrections

• EW23834
  The Register window displays fewer virtual registers than defined if the number of defined virtual registers is greater than eight.

• EW23870
  Disassembling other zones than CODE could lead to a debugger crash.

8.20.1, Oct 2012

New features

• Support for SFR paging and banked xdata has been added to the C-SPY Debugger driver for Silicon Labs.
  Note: This is not supported in the C-SPY Simulator.

8.10.1, May 2011

New features

• More breakpoints available
  The number of hardware breakpoints used by the runtime library can now be configured, making it possible to free up more breakpoints for use in the application code.

• Debug without downloading
  You can now start the debugger with or without downloading code, using two new buttons on the toolbar and two new Project menu commands. There are also two new corresponding ways to restart the debugger during the debug session.

Program corrections

• EW20295
  Auto variables placed in registers were not displayed correctly in the Watch window. This has been corrected.

• EW20975
  Using a custom runtime library together with a custom linker configuration file will no longer cause C-SPY to terminate.

• EW21926
  Support for the --ks_version command line option was re-enabled for the kickstart edition.

• EW22031
  The Stack window displayed structures with too many padding bytes. This has been corrected.

V7.60.1, June 2010

Program corrections

• EW21355, EW21361, EW21362
  The user can now control access to memory address ranges in the following zones by using the [Memory] tag in the .ddf file.:

  • Code
  • XData
  • IData
  • SFR

• EW21539
  Symbolic names for special function registers in ddf files were not able to override some internal hard coded names. This has been corrected.

• EW21540
  C-SPY no longer issue superfluous warnings for symbolic SFR names defined more than once.

New features
