Breakpoints:
There are two breakpoint modes supported. One of them (SOFT) is implemented by replacing appli-
cation code with a special pattern. The other (HARD) uses the built in breakpoint logic. If HARD is
used, only up to 2 breakpoints can be active at the same time.
The following example selects SOFT as the breakpoint mode:
BREAKMODE SOFT ;SOFT or HARD, HARD uses hardware breakpoints
All the time the application is suspended (i.e. caused by a breakpoint) the target processor remains
in debug mode.
3.2 Configuration File
The configuration file is automatically read by the BDI2000 after every power on.
The syntax of this file is as follows:
; comment
[part name]
core# identifier parameter1 parameter2 ..... parameterN ; comment
core# identifier parameter1 parameter2 ..... parameterN
.....
[part name]
core# identifier parameter1 parameter2 ..... parameterN
core# identifier parameter1 parameter2 ..... parameterN
.....
etc.
Numeric parameters can be entered as decimal (e.g. 700) or as hexadecimal (0x80000).
The core# is optional. If not present the BDI assume core #0. See also chapter "Multi-Core Support".
