TM4C1294NCPDT: CCS Can you reconnect to a running target to resume debug?

Part Number: TM4C1294NCPDT

I am using the following:

ccs 6.1.2 
TIRTOS 2.16.0.08,
compiler 5.2.7 
XDC 3.31.1333
TM4C1294NCPDT
ndk_2_25_00_09

If I have a running board that was compiled with the debug symbols but the CCS debugger is not currently "connected" to the target  is there a way in CCS to reconnect to a running target and resume debugging?  My debug connection in CCS is "Stellaris In-Circuit Debug Interface".

I guess another way to ask the question is if I am debugging and hit the red terminate button (ctrl+f2), is there a way to reconnect to probe and resume debugging to see what the state of the system is? 

Thanks,

Doug

    Hi Doug,

      Yes, all you need is to select 'Load Symbols' instead of Load Program. Provide your .out file with the symbols in it and CCS will just extract the symbols out. There is no need to reload the program.

    Cool and thanks, My menu looks slightly different but I found it and it works great!.  For others I clicked on pulldown by the bug and select "Debug Configurations" and when that window opens I selected the program tab.. Thanks!

    Hi Doug,

      One caution of note. If you change to load symbols only, please remember to change back to Load program when you make modification to your code. Otherwise, you will not see your updated code reflected when you debug. This happens to me several times as I forgot.
