When I was using IAR I was able to debug my program without having a target connected, using the "Debug without downloading option". I've tried to do it in CCSv4, I've followed the instructions in this post http://e2e.ti.com/support/development_tools/code_composer_studio/f/81/p/41947/146221.aspx#146221 but I think it isn't what I'm looking for.
Thanks.
