Load Options Buttons
These three buttons allow you to select which part of the executable file to load:
• Load Code Button : Loads the application code only. Loads only the application into
the target system. Use this button if no debugging is needed.
• Load Symbols Button: Loads symbols only. Loads only debugging information.
This button can be used if the code is already loaded into the target system or
programmed into a non-volatile memory device (ROM/FLASH).
• Verify Code Button: Loader loads no data into memory. However, it reads back
current data matching the same areas from the target memory and compares all data
with the data from the selected file.
Open and Load Code Options Area
The checkboxes and buttons of this area of the Load Executable File window offer the
following options:
• A checkbox to Automatically erase and program into FLASH and EEPROM.
• A Verify memory image after loading code checkbox, with two radio buttons that let
you define the memory image.
• Run after successful load checkbox.
• A Stop at Function checkbox with a textbox that lets you define the function.
Command Buttons:
OK : Changes are confirmed and saved in current project file.
Cancel : Closes dialog box without saving changes.
Help : Opens the help file.
Connection Command File Window
From the Connection menu, choose Command File to open the Connection Command
File window. Each tab of this window, shown in Figure 2.19 corresponds to an event on
which a command file can be automatically run.
See the Startup Command File , Reset Command File , Preload Command File , and
Postload Command File , sections that follow. Although these command files are not
generated automatically, you can install them when installing a new connection. However,
the Debugger recognizes these command files and executes them. Depending on the
connection used, other command files can be recognized by the Debugger. Refer to the
appropriate connection chapter for command file information and properties.
