Hello
It is possible to define a target, which is just connecting to the board and not downloading anything in there.
I assume you are connecting to your board using a P&E MultiLink cable. Am I right?
Create your build target the usual way (just clone an existing target). then apply following changes to the build target:
- In the "Build Extras" Panel change the Arguments edit box from
"%targetFilePath -W -Prod=p&e.ini -instance=%currentTargetName"
into
"-Prod=hotplug.ini -instance=%currentTargetName"
- Copy the attached file hotplug.ini to your project directory (where the .mcp file is located).
Following settings will need to be done first time you start the debugger (they will be saved in the .ini file for later debug session).
- Start the debugger
- In the connection dialog, specify the Communication device
- In the Connection dialog go to the "Special setup" tab
- Check the box "At connection, the target is running (hot plugging)".
- Select MultilinkCyclonePro -> Set Derivatives" and select the derivative you are currently using.
You should be connected to the chip and you should be able to look at registers, memory, ....
If you want to look at global variable value, you need to do a load symbols from the .abs file (in the Load Executable dialog).
I hope this helps.
