Development environment: keil MDK V5.10
Operating system: windows 7 (32-bit)
Problem description: When using MDK for software design, instead of using ST official templates but manually created projects, using ST official version 3.5 firmware library. Compilation is completely passed, and there is a problem when using software simulation. The program cannot jump to the main entry, and it cannot be executed directly in the SystemInit() function. The error message shown in the title appears in the debug window:
error 65: access violation at 0x40021000 : no 'read' permission
As shown in the figure below, the red circles on the way indicate the location of the code execution and the corresponding error message
Searching for solutions on the Internet and comparing the project templates in the 3.5 version firmware library provided by ST, it was found that there was a problem with the dialog dll and the corresponding parameter configuration of the debug tab in the project configuration options. The default configuration after selecting the MCU is as follows:
You can see that the default configuration of dialog dll is DCM.DLL, and the default configuration of parameter is -pCM3. This configuration cannot be used for normal simulation debugging.
The correct configuration should be dialog dll: DARMSTM.dll parameter: -pSTM32F103C8
These two parameters are different according to the MCU you use. For example, the MCU used in this project is the STM series, then DARMSTM.dll should be used in the dialog DLL option. The STM in the name refers to the manufacturer, and the parameters are specific The MCU chip model of this project uses STM32F103C8T6, so STM32F103C8 is selected, as shown in the figure below:
Why use STM32F103C8T6, but the parameter can only be STM32F103C8, this is because according to ST's MCU naming rules, all the parameters required for simulation are fully specified at the position of C8, including cpu frequency, ram capacity, flash capacity , Peripheral resources, etc. The back part of the model has nothing to do with the simulation. For example, the back name mainly represents the package and operating temperature of the MCU. The official naming rules are as follows:
Of course, there is a more direct reason is that there is no detailed MCU model in the DARMSTM.DLL dynamic link library file. We can use the tool to open the dynamic link library file to check the proof, as shown in the figure below, which can clearly see one The MCU model has only 11 characters, excluding other parameter characters after it.
µVISION DEBUGGER: Simulation of Cortex-M Devices
Information in this knowledgebase article applies to:
- MDK-ARM Version 5
QUESTION
I am trying to use the Simulator that is available in the µVision Debugger with MDK-ARM Version 5. However when I start the debugger I get the following error:
*** error 65: access violation at address : no 'read' permission
This error happens when my application accesses on-chip peripherals. In the past the µVision Debugger used to provide simulation for the on-chip peripherals. Is this no longer available with MDK-ARM Version 5?
ANSWER
The µVision Debugger provides complete instruction set simulation for all ARM7, ARM9, Cortex-M0/M0+, Cortex-M3 and Cortex-M4 processor cores. However it is impossible to simulate the behavior of the on-chip peripherals for many devices.
Today the capabilities of Target Debugging match the functionality of device simulation when using trace with a powerful debug adapter such as the ULINKpro Debug and Trace Unit. It provides with the real-world application features such as Code Coverage, Performance Analyzer, Event Viewer, and Logic Analyzer.
For some older devices, the legacy device simulation is still available and can also be used together with MDK Version 5 projects. To enable the device simulation open the dialog Project - Options for Target - Debug. Under the section Use Simulator change the entries for Dialog DLL and Parameter. The values from the tables below give you device simulation for certain devices. Refer to Simulated Features in the µVision Legacy Device Database to get information about the simulated peripherals for each of these devices.
