Sampler with C giving <Game Symbol Not Found>

SDK Get Help
1

Hi!

TL;DR - sampler (C/Device) gives me Game Symbol not found. I'm doing things in a pretty vanilla way.

Deets:

Wanting to profile my tech demo C game. Using SDK Version 2.3.1 (165008), M1 Mac Mini running Sonoma 14.3

I start my game in the simulator, Command-U to run it on a device. Then open the Sampler window, selected Choose Game, navigated to my Game.pdx bundle directory, and then started the sample.

SDK calls are profiled ok, but the majority of samples are going to (unknown) 0x00000082. Screenshot at dropbox

It's a Hello_World copy-pasta, using the plain make files. Below are the build lines (I see -g's there, so assuming debug symbols are available for use). gcc version: arm-none-eabi-gcc GNU Tools for Arm Embedded Processors 9-2019-q4-major 9.2.1 20191025 (release) ARM/arm-9-branch revision 277599

I tried restarting the simulator and the device, but no change in behavior.

Thanks!

Yay solved!

When going "choose game", choose the pdx.elf in the build directory, rather than the game bundle.
