SofTec Coldfire Setup Dialog Box

In the communication tab, the communication protocol between the debugger and SofTec
driver display can be activated. The protocol is displayed in the Command window. Use
this option only on Support team request.

In the Debug Options tab, checking “Disable maskable ISR’s when stepping” option
provides a way to debug without diving in pending program ISR’s. When this option is
set, interrupts are masked before stepping as if changing directly the interrupt level in the
SR core register. When the step is performed, the interrupt level is reverted to previous
state, and if necessary, adjusted according to last executed instruction (when the stepped
instruction affects the interrupt level).
When checking “Program trim data open application loading”, the SofTec driver
calculates the data to be Flashed to trim the device according to trimming information
