CHAPTER 8: DEBUGGER

8.3 Starting Method

8.3.1 Start-up Format

General form of command linedb63 ^ <parameter file name> ^ [start-up option]

^ denotes a space.

[ ] indicates the possibility to omit.

Note: The parameter file will be recognized by its extension ".par", so ".par" must be included in the parameter file name to be specified.

8.3.2 Start-up Options

The debugger has three start up options available.

<command file name>

Function: Specifies a command file.

Explanation: For a series of commands to be executed immediately after the debugger starts up, specify a command file that describes those commands.

-comX

Function: Specifies a communication port.

Explanation: This option specifies the communication port through which a personal computer is communicated with by the ICE. Specify a port number in the X part of this option. The port that can be used for this purpose varies among different personal computers.

Unless this option is specified, the com1 port is used to communicate with the ICE.

-b <baud rate>

Function: Specifies a communication transmission rate.

Explanation: This option specifies the baud rate on the personal computer. For <baud rate>, select one from 2400, 4800, 9600, 19200, or 38400.

Unless specified otherwise, the baud rate is set to 9600 bps. This value is the same as the initial setting of the ICE.

The baud rate on the ICE is set using the DIP switch mounted on the ICE.

When entering an option in a command line, make sure that there is at least one space before and after the option.

Example: c:\epson\s1c63\bin\db63 par63xxx.par startup.cmd -com2 -b 19200

The default start-up options are set as: -com1 & -b 9600

If no parameter file name was specified or the option was not specified correctly, the debugger ends after delivering the following message concerning the usage:
