Hello.

I'm trying to make simple openAMP with STM32MX(with STM32cubeIDE, .ioc file).

The code is simiar to OpenAMP_TTY_echo.

I include virt_uart.h and use VIRT_UART_Init code inside main function and others like making RxCpltCallback and registor callback is same as the example code.

But the virtual Uart is not shown in /dev directory.

I checked it with console inside cubeIDE.

So, I debug it and find out the breakpoint in main function not work.


_legacyfs_online_stmicro_images_0693W00000bjeagQAA.pngthe first image is about not working debug break point.
_legacyfs_online_stmicro_images_0693W00000bjebKQAQ.pngsecond image is about no RPMSG tty in dev

after I Suspend manually by clicking the button and make expression(VIRT_UART_Init(&huart1) like in the image below, the virtio is initialized and the ttyRPMSG0 is seen in /dev directory
_legacyfs_online_stmicro_images_0693W00000bjebUQAQ.pngWhat Is the problem of this?

If I do wrong, what is the right way to deal with OpenAMP?

    Hi @MJo.3​ ,

    For the issue to catch breakpoint at early stage of the main it's actually a known and normal limitation.

    In production mode the firmware is started by Linux and then CubeIDE/OpenOCD proceed to an attach to it which take few ms.

    As long as OpenOCD not attached it can not execute the breakpoint.

    To workaround this you can implement a while function at top of your main on which you break and use debugger to passthrough and then step forward..

    Hope it help

    Olivier
