Multiple emulator configurations for a project.

Hi,

I currently use an XDS-200 emulator with a particular target configuration that is specific to a project. I would like to add another emulator (to test) that is an XDS560v2 from blackhawk so that I may switch between the XDS200 and the XDS560v2 if ever required. I would like to keep the same target configuration if possible for the same project etc. This looks like it can be done as there is the means to add a "component" in the same target configuration using the "advanced" tab, however there does not seem to be the means to switch between the different emulators before starting the debugging. Either I am missing something when trying this out, or it may not actually be possible, either way I have not been able to resolve this as easily as I thought.

Can this be done and if so where are there any examples for the procedure etc to have a look at, or if this step may be easily described it would be appreciated...

thanks in advance and regards,

Mike

  • Can this be done and if so where are there any examples for the procedure etc to have a look at, or if this step may be easily described it would be appreciated...

    I solve this with multiple debug configurations. Here I have three different configurations and just launch the relevant one depending on which debugger I have connected.

    Each debug configuration refers to a different target configuration which has a different connection selected.

    It's not clear to me why you need to limited your number of target configurations to one. The contents of these files rarely change, if at all, so maintenance should not be an issue in my view.

  • Hi,

    yes that's what I tried initially, right-click on project and Build Targets -> Create... and then make another build target.

    This is what I get after completing this step 

    I was expecting another .ccxml file to appear in the targetConfigs folder like the default one that was created ? This is not what I was after.

    What are the steps you took to add the various .ccxml files to the folder to choose from ?

    Thanks, Mike

  • Ah, I see. No it's right-click on the project -> New -> Target Configuration File.

    Alternatively, just good old fashioned copy and paste of .ccxml file in Windows File Explorer or equivalent.

  • Ahh, now your talking ;-) thanx I was looking in the wrong place for making the target config. thanx ! I'll look into it further
