Microcontrollers Debugger Manual
When checking “Program trim data open application loading”, the P&E driver calculates
the data to be Flashed to trim the device according to trimming information provided in
the Communication Settings dialog. The debugger programs automatically this data to the
device Flash when an application is loaded.
When checking “Enable Terminal Printf Support”, the debugger handles hardware
background breaks and checks if the application is broadcasting a message to the
debugger. In this case, the debugger forwards the message to the Terminal window, and
the debugger runs again the target application. When not checked, the debugger remains
halted and reports an unknown hardware break status. To emulate a Terminal
communications, use the special libraries delivered with the CodeWarrior IDE.

The Connection Port and Interface Type field gives the user the way to select the
debugging cable and also the communication port or specific cable when several cables
are available.
The Reset Delay field provides a way to delay the communication with the hardware.
The Cyclone Pro Power Control field provides specific setup for the Cyclone Pro
interface. Refer to the P&E Cyclone Pro manual and specifications.
The Hotsync button in the Connection Manager allows the user to connect to an already
running target.
The Show this dialog before attempting to contact target checkbox can be unchecked
to remove this dialog window at connection. The dialog still pops up if the connection
cannot be opened with any hardware.
