5.8 Starting the Debugger
Although the
gdb
debugger is provided as an application distinct from the
IDE
, it can be started from within the
IDE
after setting the appropriate command options.
5.8.1 generating a Parameter file
A parameter file is used to set memory map information for the target system in the debugger. The debugger per-
forms the following processing, based on debugger settings.
• Check to see if the software PC break addresses are within the valid map area.
• Stops program at write access to the ROM area. (simulator mode only)
• Access to undefined area (simulator mode only)
• Stack overflow (simulator mode only)
Loading a parameter file reserves sufficient storage in PC memory for all memory areas written in the file.
For more information on the parameter file, refer to Section 10.9, "Parameter Files."
The IDE generates a parameter file with the name " <project name>
_gnu17IDE.par
" during a build process,
based on the project properties set. If the project properties are changed thereafter, the parameter file will be up-
dated and passed just before you start the debugger.
The following explains how a parameter file is generated.
Parameter setup page
Use the [GNU17 Parameter Settings] page of the project properties to set the content of a parameter file. Dis-
play the setup page following the procedure described below.

(2) Select [Properties] from the [Project] menu or the context menu of the selected project.
This displays the [Properties] dialog box.
