I'm using an RA6M3 connected to IAR's EWARM IDE via a J-Link Ultra+. I've read the Low Power Mode section of the RA6M3 user's manual and have looked at the register values and I think I have everything configured correctly. However, when I single-step through my code, it just steps right over the WFI instruction. I would expect the WFI to never return. The debugger would only resume after the device has reset out from the deep software standby state.
Before I pull out more hair, I thought I'd check to see if it is the debugger itself that is preventing the RA6M3 from entering deep software standby.
I've done more research and have a solution. Two, actually.
The script mentioned in the app note cited by Richard can be used. Getting C-Spy (the EWARM debugger) to run the J-Link script involves editing…
Hi mdurian,
I'm not exactly sure with the RA6M3 and its debugger, but in RL78, when executing HALT in debug mode, it will just also step right over the HALT instruction. Maybe the debugger doesn't emulate standby functions. I hope someone from this forum can confirm this.
