Default

Yes

Method to change

By selecting from drop-down list

Specify the PIC/PID offset

Specify whether or not to change the positions of PIC (Position Independent Code) and PID (Position Independent Data) areas of the load module to be downloaded from those at which they were when the load module was created. When this item is changed to [Yes], "PIC Offset" and "PID Offset" are displayed in the sub-item.

Default

No

Method to change

By selecting from drop-down list

Specifiable value

Yes

Specifies PIC/PID offsetNote 2.

No

Does not specify PIC/PID offset.

PIC Offset

Enter an offset value from an address that was in the load module when it was created.

For example, if the program section's start address begins with the address 0x1000, enter "1000" for this item. The subject section is downloaded to the address 0x2000.

Default

0

Method to change

By entering directly from the keyboard

Specifiable value

Hexadecimal number in the range 0x0 to 0xFFFFFFFF

PID Offset

Unless symbol information is downloaded, source-level debugging cannot be performed.

Note 2.

If you select [Yes] for load modules created not using the PIC/PID functions (see Section “2.7 Usage of PIC/PID Function“), debug operation cannot be guaranteed.

(3)

Clicking the [OK] button

Settings you've made in this dialog box are enabled, with the download conditions changed.
