Semihosting with EFM32PG12B, Linker Error: __HeapBase

[tim]

Hello,

I want to use “semihosting” with Target: EFM32PG12B500F1024GM48

Error Messages:
Error undefined reference to `__HeapBase' EmTestSemihosting C:\Workspace\VS2019\EmTestSemihosting\VisualGDB\Debug\__BSP_ROOT__\framework\common\toolchain\src\sl_memory.o 0
Error undefined reference to `__HeapLimit' EmTestSemihosting m:\Repository\VisualGDB\EmbeddedBSPs\arm-eabi\com.sysprogs.arm.silabs.efm32\framework\common\toolchain\src\sl_memory.c 109

The BSP is EFM32 6.4.4

corresponding Linker Script: EFM32PG12B500F1024GM48_flash.lds

There is now Definition for

extern char __HeapBase[];
extern char __HeapLimit[];

Do I need Heap at all? (for semihosting)

Kind Regards

Thomas

Hi,

Thanks for pointing this out. The new Gecko SDK indeed provided its own implementation of _sbrk() that was not fully compatible with the VisualGDB-generated linker scripts.

Since VisualGDB provides its own implementation, it is not really needed. We have updated the BSP removing it. Feel free to re-download it via Tools->VisualGDB->Manage VisualGDB Packages.
