Getting Started and Debugger

B.7 Running the CodeLab Debugger

This section is provided to get the system up and running in the CodeLab Debug environment, but it is not intended as a full-functional tutorial. Please refer to the MGC CodeLab Debug Reference Manual for more detailed information.

B.7.1 Launching and Configuring Debugger

1.In EDE, click on the icon that looks like a red bug. The “Connect” window appears.

2.When not configured from Section B.4.2, “Using Flash Programmer”, go to Section B.4.2 and perform steps 2-5.

3.Press Connect to enter debug mode.

a. The CodeLab Debug environment appears with the Assembly window open.

Note: Mouseovers are available for most of the toolbar icons. (Leave the mouse over the debug icons across the top on the toolbar to see a brief explanation of each.)

4.Click on the go icon and let RedBoot boot (takes a minute) until the RedBoot prompt “RedBoot>” appears in the Console window (click the Console tab at the bottom of the Debug window to view the Console window).

5.From the console window:

a.type “diag”.

b.hit “Enter”.

The RedBoot Diagnostic function is invoked.

Try out a few of the tests as desired.

6.Close the Debugger and EDE environment.

7.Reset the board (cycle power).

B.7.2 Manually Loading and Executing an Application Program

1.Launch the CodeLab Debug Environment from the desktop icon.

2.Ensure “File…/Program Load Options/Load Executable and Symbols” is checked.

3.file, program load options, load executable and symbols.

a.Select “file, open program, browse”.

b.go find c:\<RedBoot downloaded Files>…\Test1LED\O\Test1LED.elf.

4.Hit Go (80, 3, 32, and 21 cycle on the LEDs).

5.Cycle power on the board.
