Projects enable you to control an application that you are
debugging. You can include image load commands and set breakpoints
that are stored as part of the project. The SETTINGS group
contains two groups for breakpoints:
- Auto_Set_Breaks
Set as soon as a symbol is matched. If there is no symbol specified, these are set on any load. These breakpoints appear in the Break/Tracepoints pane in the usual way.
- Named_Breaks
Breakpoints that you want to set often. Enables you to set breakpoints that are specific to the application, to an RTOS, or to a library.
Note
The steps for adding Auto_Set_Breaks and Named_Breaks are
identical, except that for Auto_Set_Breaks you
can choose to have RealView Debugger prompt you before setting the breakpoint.
The steps in this section describe setting Named_Breaks.
To add named breakpoints:
Select Project ? Project Properties... to display the Project Properties window.
Select the
*SETTINGSgroup in the List of Entries pane, the left pane.Right-click on the
Named_Breaksgroup in the Settings Values pane, the right pane, and select Explore from the context menu.Right-click on the
Defaultgroup in the Settings Values pane, and select Make Copy... from the context menu.Enter a new name for the group, for example
My_breakpoints, and click Create.Right-click on the
My_breakpointsgroup in the Settings Values pane, and select Explore from the context menu.Right-click on the
Cmdsetting, in the Settings Values pane, and select Edit Value from the context menu.Type
bi \DHRY_1\#149:5and then press Enter to confirm the value.This identifies a software breakpoint on the chosen instruction.
Right-click on the
Descriptionsetting, in the Settings Values pane, and select Edit Value from the context men.The text entered here appears in the list selection box to identify the named breakpoint.
Type
My test breakpointand then press Enter to confirm the value.This text identifies the named breakpoint.
Create a new group, for example
My_test_breakpoints, and set up a second named breakpoint if required.Select File ? Save and Close to regenerate the makefile(s) for the project, and close the Project Properties window.
Select Tools ? Build... to rebuild the application.
Connect to your target and load the newly-built image
dhrystone.axf.Click on the Src tab to view the source file
dhry_1.c.Select Debug ? Simple Breakpoints ? Named... to display the list selection box, shown in Figure 6.9.
This box lists the named breakpoints you previously set up for the project. Select the breakpoints you want to set, then click OK. These breakpoints are also available when you next open the project.
When you select breakpoints from the Named Breakpoints list, they appear in the Break/Tracepoints pane in the usual way.
Note
Specifying breakpoints in this way can also be applied to an auto-project.
