Unable to use SWV Data Trace Timeline Graph

[ozzdemir]

Hello,

I want to use SWV Data Trace Timeline Graph but when I try to open "Configure trace" option, nothing happens, not a single window is being opened etc. Is it some kind of bug, does it have a solution? Thanks in advance.

My IDE and other information are as follows:

STM32CubeIDE

Version: 1.0.2

Build: 3566_20190716-0927 (UTC)

OS: Ubuntu 16.04

Board: Nucleo-F401RE

Are you in a live debug session when you try to configure the trace or have you just switched to the debug perspective?

Have you activated SWV in the debug configuration?

I was in a live debug session, I was also observing the live expression of the same variable I was trying to plot. I activated SWV in the debug configuration but then "Configure trace" option became deactivated so I reverted it back.

Does this happen with any project you're creating? Do you have another board to test it on?

I haven't been able to recreate the problem myself but I'll give it a try on the Linux computer to see if it's OS specific later today.

Yesterday, I tried again to activate SWV and was able to open the window and configure this time, I don't know what changed from then.

Thanks for your effort.

It is not OS-dependent. In any case at least some feedback to the user is required even if these settings require an active debug session.

btw , from my experience with IDE and SWV : its more like rolling the dice, than a reliable setting .

interesting: when you got it running, it works on this project/debug "always" , when starting debug.

BUT i also have projects, on same boards (ie nucleo-H563zit) with same debug settings, where it never works, no matter, how often i open swv settings and hit the red "start" button. never runs on this projects, but always on same board when debug a project with working swv. So more a kind of a game with unknown rules.

Hi,

is there any solution to this problem?

I tried to configure the trace in every SWV View. But the window does not open. It doesn't matter if I am in an running debug session, a halted session or if I just opened the debug perspective. There is no reaction if I click on this icon.

Please help.

Best regards

Alex

After a lot of struggling, I figured it out that you need to hit the down arrow of debug button (bug), debug configuration, debugger and ENABLE SWV checkbox!!!!! It solved the issue for me!
