Running an image

You must run an image to be able to monitor how it is executed on a target.

Show/hidePrerequisites

Before you can run an image it must be load onto the target. An image can either be preloaded on a target or loaded onto the target as part of the debug session.

The image that runs on the target does not have to contain debugging information. To be able to use debugging features, you must have a corresponding image that is built with debug information.

Show/hideProcedure

To run an image:

  1. Launch Eclipse.

  2. Select the DS-5 Debug perspective.

  3. Connect to the required target.

    If your target configuration is set to run the image to the entry point or to a specified function, then skip the next step.

  4. If your target configuration is set to connect only, then you must run the image. To do this, select from the menus or click on a toolbar icon in the Debug Control view:

    Debug from main()

    Run the application to the global function main().

    Debug from entry point

    Run the application to the entry point.

    Run

    Run the application from the beginning.

    Run/Continue (F8)

    Run or continue to run the application.
