Home > DS-5 Debug perspective and views > App Console view |
This view enables you to interact with the console I/O capabilities provided by the semihosting implementation in the ARM® C libraries. To use this feature, semihosting support must be enabled in the debugger.
Default settings for this view are controlled by a DS-5 Debugger setting in the Preferences dialog box. For example, default locations for specific files or the maximum number of lines to display. You can access these settings by selecting Preferences... from the Window menu.
The following options are available from the toolbar or context menu:
context
Links this view to the selected connection in the Debug Control view. This is the default. Alternatively you can link the view to a specific connection. If the connection you want is not shown in the drop-down list you might have to select it first in the Debug Control view.

Clears the contents of the Semihosting Console view.
Enables or disables the automatic scrolling of messages in the Semihosting Console view.
This menu contains the following option:
