XTA route view - no context highlighting for C code?

Post by tescott »

I'm a newbie w.r.t. the XCore and am currently digging into the features provided by the XTA. I'm running into a slight problem that I'm a bit puzzled about. If I add a function from a C file to the Route View and then click on any of the sections (loop / function / block / seq), I do not see the corresponding code highlighted. Because of this, it's really hard to correlate what loops go with sections of code so that I can accurately enter loop iterations, etc.

If I add a function defined in an XC file to the Route view, the context highlighting works as expected.

Any ideas? I get the same results with 12.2 and the recently posted 13.0-beta. I don't know if it makes much difference, but I've verified that my timing settings have the Build Configuration set to "Debug".

I'm not sure what's up.

Thanks,

Maybe this explains it? XTA Manual, Chapter 13, Tool Limitations:
Limited support in C/C++ compilers: the compilers support XTA source labels,
call labels and endpoints in XC code only, not in C or C++.
