Starting Hiwave debugger

[BAN]

Hi!

I'm trying to debug an application already loaded into ROM. How should the debugger be started in this case in order to be connected to the symbols and sourcecode. Does it have to be started from the DOS command line or is it possible to double click the hiwave.exe file.

Hello

I would do it as follows:

  - Double click on HIWAVE.exe in the explorer

  - Select File -> Open Configuration and browse for your project .ini file.

    This file is usually located in your project directory and is called according to your connection

     "P&E_Multilink_CyclonePro.ini" if you are using a P&E Multilink cable, ...

 - Select File -> Load Application

 - Browse for your application .abs file name

 - Click on "Load Symbols"

You should be connected to the board and get access to symbol information from the application.

I hope this helps.

Hi!

I did not have this .abs file in my projekt but there was one file without extension looking very suspicious. I added the .abs extension to this file and 'voila'!

Do you have any idea why this file has lost it's extension??

Hi BAN,

Perhaps the setting which defines Application Filename has changed.
I'd suggest you to check the Project Settings:
1) Enter project settings dialog (ALT + F7 )
2) In the target settings panel select: Target -> Linker for HCxx
3) Check whether the "Appliaction Filename" editbox includes .abs at the end of name.

Regards,

Stanish

I must have thought the extension was added automatically when I initially wrote the name for the applikation. It now works fine! Thank You!!
