7 - Debugger and PROM Programmer Tutorial for ST72251

07-emu

Now that the hardware is connected, we can install the debugger.

The software is made of two disks for the debugger program, plus one disk for the configura-

tion of the debugger.

To install the debugger, insert the first diskette of the debugger program in the reader, start the

setup program, and follow the instructions.

The first question asked is the directory into which the debugger is to be installed. We have

chosen to put it in the directory

C:\ST7\WGDB7

. W hen the choice has been validated, the file

copy process starts. Since the software is delivered on two disks, at some place during the in-

stallation you will be requested to insert the second disk in the reader.

Then, a box appears to inform you that some .VBX files will be copied to the

Windows\System

directory. Press OK. Then, if needed, the ST7 Tools group is created, and icons are created.

Then a box request you to insert the configuration disk be inserted. Proceed and press OK.

Another box appears, requesting you to select the type of emulator that is connected. Check

the hardware you have and select one of the options, then press OK.
