Use this command to put the D25 into Debug Mode.

This mode disables certain checks in the system so that it will ignore small system violations during debugging sessions (such as allowing the writing of FLASH code to RAM during a download).

In this mode, you can make making changes to the base address and size of the SRAM, NVRAM and FLASH regions in the NVRAM configuration header.

Variables

None

Example

Type DEBUG and press ENTER.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Results: The output displays the current debug state. The user

 

 

 

 

 

receives the following prompt:

 

 

 

 

 

 

Do you wish to update the NVRAM header? (y/n)

 

 

 

 

 

 

Any reply other than ‘y’ aborts the rest of the

 

 

 

 

 

 

command. Otherwise, the command prompts you to

 

 

 

 

 

enter new values for the FLASH, SRAM, and

 

 

 

 

 

 

NVRAM base address and size. Entering a zero

 

 

 

 

 

indicates that the item is to remain unchanged.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Once the new data has been entered, you are

 

 

 

 

 

 

prompted:

 

 

 

 

 

 

Is this data accurate? (Y/N)

 

 

 

 

 

 

Any response other than ‘y’ will cause the monitor to

 

 

 

 

 

re-issue the prompts for the FLASH, SRAM, and

 

 

 

 

 

NVRAM base address and size.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Pressing CNTRL-Cwill abort the command.

 

 

 

 

 

 

If the user responds ‘y’, the command writes new

 

 

 

 

 

data to the NVRAM header and a new NVRAM

 

 

 

 

 

header CRC is calculated and stored.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Special

The debug command is a toggle, turning the debug mode ON if

 

 

 

 

Considerations

it is OFF, and OFF if it is ON.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Enabling the Debug Mode degrades the performance of the

 

 

 

 

 

system and may cause certain CPU intensive commands to

 

 

 

 

 

activate the watchdog and reset the system.
