OK

Thanks for your help.

Thank you for the suggestion.

I had installed J-Link V6.48b previously so I updated to the latest beta release (V6.61d) for this trial. I assume that this is the J-Link stub you referred to… https://www.segger.com/downloads/jlink/JLink_Windows_beta.exe

My settings with this installed are shown here: https://photos.app.goo.gl/dtGjtymNYn8a2ARM7

When I run the connection test I get a failure…

The failure messages are…

Connecting to target...
ERROR: The connected J-Link does not support selecting another hart/core than 0 for RISC-V
Specific core setup failed.
ERROR: Could not connect to target.

I tried targetting the RISCV, RV32 & RV64 devices and different clock settings… Same result in each case.

I can switch back to the OpenOCD debugger and K210 target and things are as they should be…

Do you have any further suggestions?

Thank you

I was already setup for OpenOCD debugging using tools from Kendyte’s site.

I wish I had tried that first. Hardware registers are unsupported 🙁

Just a little more info to go with this to help resolve the problem.

I dumped memory in the region of interest andVisualGDM shows ????? for the entire address space from 0x52000000 – 0x52FFFFFF.

• 0x52000000: https://photos.app.goo.gl/mZkqCchNR8AtaQ59A
• 0x50300000: https://photos.app.goo.gl/oCTc9BdndQ9jzkjP8

This is also seems to be true for the range 0x50400000 – 0x50500000

This should help to narrow down the cause.

I think you nailed it.

I tested several register locations at the same time. They returned the expected values and the test variables retained that value when reasigned to themselves. A bug in the K210 port of OpenOCD is the likely reason.

Thank you!

Thanks for the crazy-fast input!

x/1x 0x50250200

yields…

x/1x 0x50250200
&”x/1x 0x50250200\n”
0x50250200: 0xffffffff
OK

… and that’s the same that I see with the “Hardware Register ” view. Other nearby addresses return the same result.

When I run the monitor command I get all zeroes at that address…

0x50250200: 00000000
