Display/Change Programs

2.8 Display/Change Programs

This section describes how to display and change programs when a load module file with the debug information is downloaded to a debug tool.

Downloaded programs can be displayed in the following panels.

Editor panel
The source file is displayed and can be edited.
Furthermore, the source level debugging/instruction level debugging (see "2.11.3 Execute programs in steps") and the display of the code coverage measurement result [Simulator] (see "2.18 Measure Coverage [Simulator]") can be performed in this panel.

Disassemble panel
The result of disassembling the downloaded program (the memory contents) is displayed and can be edited (line assemble).
Furthermore, the instruction level debugging (see "2.11.3 Execute programs in steps") and the display of the code coverage measurement result [Simulator] (see "2.18 Measure Coverage [Simulator]") can be performed in this panel. In this panel, the disassemble results can be displayed with the corresponding source text (default).

Remark

It is normally necessary to download a load module file with debugging information in order to perform the source level debugging, but it is also possible to do so by downloading an Intel HEX file (*.hex), Motorola S-record file (*.mot), or binary file (*.bin) (see "2.7.2.4 Perform source level debugging with files other than the load module file format").
