7. Known Issues and Workarounds
Appendix A. Known Issues and Workarounds
• Missing IAR Arm Chip Info when creating IAR projects. No impact on functionality.
• In some circumstances "load" can change state in ways that CDT does not currently expect.
• For example, the $pc can be changed to the entry address in the elf file being loaded: https://
bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=568228.
Workaround: Step through code.
• I/O support Real-time print with ITM for PnE doesn't work for S32M27x projects.
• Re-launching debugging session for single core in multicore projects, with PEmicro, will not re-
initialize core.
Workaround: In order to get to beginning of main, place "Reset_Handler" in the "Set PC" field
from Startup tab.

8. Revision history
• Cannot debug by I-Jet and J-Link driver.
• IAR Linker files .icf do not trigger the build process.
Workaround: Clean the project and rebuild.
• With IAR debugger: Unsigned char variable value is not shown in Register view.
Hex 0x31 is ascii character '1'
Hex 0x37 is ascii character '7'
Hex 0xD is ascii character 'Carriage Return'. Carriage Return is not a visible character, so
Eclipse shows it as empty. Since the data type is usually used for ascii characters, that is the
default presentation format.
Workaround: Right-click on values in Register view, and change the view format to Binary,
Hex or Octal.
• To view system registers, click to Window -> Show C-SPY view -> Registers -> Register1/2/3/4
• Peripheral registers are displayed in Register views. Some peripheral registers can display
empty/invalid value
• NullPointerException occurs when trying to open the Library Configuration of any IAR Library
project.
• For S32M242: Debug Flash does not stop at main, although Segger Jlink writes data into Flash
successfully. This is a current limitation of Segger Jlink.
