Debug Code

If your code does not run successfully, you should debug it.

How Debug Works

When you click the “Debug Project” toolbar icon , the following occurs:

• A build is done, if the make process determines that it is necessary.
• For in-circuit debuggers/emulators, the target device or header is automatically programmed with the image (including the debug executive) and a debug session is started.
• For simulators, a debug session is started.

Debug progress is visible in the Output window.

1. 1.In the Projects window, select your project or make it the main project (right click on the project and select “Set as Main Project”).

To halt your application code:

Click on the “Pause” icon to halt your program execution.

To run your code again:

Click on the “Continue” icon to start your program execution again.

To end execution of your code:

Click on the “Finish Debugger Session” icon to end your program execution.
