I'm using CCS v4.2.4 and creating a simple hello world project. I have to trouble creating a New Target Configuration for my desired connetcion and device (TI Simulator connection  Device= Cortex R4 ...   after i sane the new target configuration file (my_target.ccxml)  it is not clear to me how i attach or assign that target config file to the project.  If i select Debug...  it appears to use another target config file from a previous project that i was working on.

what exactly are the steps after the create New Target Configuration   to get the project to use that configuration.

 

Also what is the difference between launch configurations and target configurations

 

thanks

Rob

    Hi Rob,

    Starting at slide 19 of the Hello World tutorial presentation, it walks through creating a target configuration file and adding to your project. It also goes into detail on how target configurations work.

    A launch configuration is something that Eclipse creates when a debug session is created - it is cached information on which target configuration to use, debug settings…

    A target configuration is a file that defines information on the connection type and device you are trying to start a debug session for. When you first launch the debugger for a target configuration, a launch configuration is created.

    Hope this helps,

    thanks for the quick response, the Hello world tutorial presentation link you sent answers alot of the questions.

     

    On another note, when i am connecting to the debugger, is there a way to step through the c start up code, it appears to always jump straight to main() before i get a chance to set breakpoints and step thru start up code right from the reset vector.

     

    thanks again for your help
