AVR Studio 5 Breakpoints Not Triggered

Development Boards MicroMod
1

I recently upgraded from AVR Studio 4 to 5, and now it seems that when debugging, breakpoints are not stopping the processor.

System details:

  • Win 7 (32-bit)

  • AVR Studio 5.0.1163

  • JTAG ICE mkII (7.d firmware)

  • ATMega324p

I can use the JTAG ICE mkII to download code to the processor, and execution initially stops at the top of main(). Then, I can single step the processor, and set breakpoints farther down in main. But, once I ‘continue,’ the breakpoints do not halt the processor. I know that the lines with breakpoints are eventually executed because single-stepping passes through these lines.

Is anyone experiencing similar problems? Thanks!

Try AVR Freaks, lots of people there are having problems with AS5.

Thanks–I’m monitoring a thread over there as well:

AVR Studio 5 is a bit beta/young. Using the prior version makes more sense, at least for a few months.
