To solve this error, please initialize all variables/pointers accordingly, make sure all Init functions are called correctly and all functions are called in the right order.
The Option 'Initialize interface variables with pointer types in C' in your C-/C++ platform configuration may helps to solve the error. If not - Please run your software in a debugger to locate it. TPT is supporting Debugging of the SUT via Visual Studio Code, Eclipse CDT and Visual Studio.
