Use CDK + Sipeed RV-Debugger Plus to compile and debug

Open Hello World

  • After obtaining the SDK, enter the examples/hellowd/helloworld/cdk directory and double-click helloworld.cdkproj to open the Helloworld project

Compile Hello World

helloworld.cdkproj

  • Select the OpenOCD_Debug project in the drop-down menu. Since Sipeed RV-Debugger Plus uses OpenOCD for debugging, this tutorial is based on the OpenOCD_Debug project;

  • If Sipeed RV-Debugger Plus does not install the driver correctly, please refer to Sipeed RV-Debugger Plus driver installation settings, set up the driver, and then proceed to the following steps

  • In the CDK toolbar, click the compile icon to compile the project

    • Click 1 Build Project to compile the currently selected project

    • Click 2 Clean Project to clear the results of the last compilation

    • Click 3 Flash Download to download the compiled code to the chip (Flash download function cannot be used with OpenOCD Debug)

    • Click 5 Start/Stop Debug whitout Download to debug directly without loading the current bin file

    • You can also right-click the project name in Project, and compile the project through the options in the right-click menu

Program Hello World

  • When using the OpenOCD mode debugging method in the CDK, it is not currently supported to directly use the CDK related flash tool to download the code, so please use the BL Dev Cube tool to program, please refer to BLDevCube start guide

  • Use CDK to debug after the code is programmed

Run Hello World

  • From the menu bar of the CDK View->Serial Pane, open the serial port panel, right-click in the opened Serial Pane, set the serial port, select your corresponding serial port number and baud rate

Debug Hello World

  • Click the Start/Stop Debugger button at the top of the toolbar to enter the debug interface, as shown in the figure below

Debug HelloWorld！

  • In the debug interface, the Register window can view the CPU internal register data; the Peripherals peripheral panel, you can view the corresponding peripheral register data, the top menu bar Peripherals-> System Viewer can select peripherals; click the relevant debugging button in the upper toolbar to perform operations such as breakpoint setting, single-step debugging, single-step instruction, and full-speed operation. Of course, these operations have corresponding shortcut keys and shortcut setting methods. For details, please refer to CDK Help.

  • We click the single step button to run the code, and we can see that the cursor moves to the next sentence of code, and we can see our output Hello World! displayed in the serial port panel.
