ZSP IDE Debugger
This chapter describes how to use the ZSP IDE Debugger, a graphical
debugging environment for developers using the ZSP family of Digital
Signal Processor Cores.
Version 4.0 of SDK Tools features a new Graphical Interface Integrated
Development Environment for ZSP software project management,
referred to in this document as ZSP IDE. The debug component of ZSP
IDE is the focus of this chapter and is referred to as ZSP IDE Debugger.
ZSP IDE Debugger is a menu-driven user interface to the ZSP Debugger.
It provides a user-friendly graphical interface that allows navigation
through your code while showing program and processor information for
debugging purposes. The ZSP IDE Debugger allows setting breakpoints,
examining registers and variables, watching source level variables,
examining memory. Commands may be entered to be executed by the
Command Line Debugger. The capability to automatically save your
current debug settings and restore them at startup allows quick setup for
each debugging session.
The ZSP IDE Debugger is an integral component of the ZSP IDE
executable (ZSPide.exe). The Debugger is configured and invoked from
the IDE Debug Menu to operate on the IDE Current Project. The
Debugger component of the IDE may be run independently from the IDE
by using a separate executable (guidebug.exe). When running the
Debugger in this way, a Project File may be loaded through the Debugger
File Menu.
Features of ZSP IDE Debugger –
Processor Support - ZSP G2 Architecture, ZSP400 Architecture, and
G1/G2 (to use ZSP400 source code for processors based on ZSP
G2 architecture.)
Compatibility - Backwards-compatible with Version 3.2 Projects.
