After starting the Debugger, you will set two breakpoints and watch what happens to a variable between the first and the second breakpoint.
Make sure that the right debugger is selected in your Preferences > Platform view.
In the Project Editor
To start the Debugger:
In the Project Tree, make sure that
pico.shared
is highlighted. If it isn't, click on its
name to highlight it.
Choose Target > Debug pico.
The Debugger opens.
In the Debugger Command Line Shell
For a summary of debug commands, type
help
at the command line prompt
(gdb)
.
Note that many of these commands can also be posted from the Source Editor.
In the Project Editor
You will be setting a breakpoint in the source file,
display.c
. To open the file:
In the Project Tree, make sure that
lib.shared
is highlighted.
Right-click anywhere in the Project Tree and choose Context menu > Select From
lib.shared Only.
In the File List, double-click on
display.c
to open the file in the Source Editor.
The file is opened in the Source Editor and, because you are in debug mode, a row of
buttons for the most commonly needed debug commands has been added below the
menu bar.
