Standalone Debugger for StarCore?

Hi,

I'm having too much trouble getting the CW 10.1.8 Debugger to work within the IDE, so I'm wondering whether there is a standalone commandline debugger similar to gdb that I could use instead. A commandline interface wouldn't even be required, just about anything allowing remote control would do. The path via AutoHotKey or other GUI testing Applications seems too brittle to me.Especially since the debugger shell window always gets a different class id, i.e. SWT_Window068, whenever I start CW.

I'm wondering which function DE.exe in C:\Program Files\Freescale\CW SC v10.1.8\SC\bin has. It seems to be called CW Debugger Engine - sounds like a starting point to me.

If you have any idea please help.

Regards,

Killian

Have you looked at the CodeWarrior Targeting StarCore DSPs manual? In there is a section about command-line debugging using the Debugger Shell.

I did. I'm also making progress on that end now as you can see here:

I was more desperate a short while ago, so I was looking around for alternatives. If you can say anything about DE.exe I would still be glad to know about it.
