GEL file OnTargetConnect

I am porting a C6713 application from CCS3.3 to CCS5.5, and I have a question about the OnTargetConnect() function in a generic GEL file - since there is no longer a connection at Debug-->Connect, doesn't StartUp() do about the same thing?

there is an action where after the debugger is up, you connect to the target. However that action is automated in v5 when you use the "Debug [project]" button (the button that looks like a bug). You can configure v5 to not auto-connect when debugging a project so that you can do it manually. Also, when starting a project-less debug session, there will be no auto-connect by default

So v3 and v5 behave the same way. The main difference is that in v5, launching the CCS application will launch the GUI but the debugger isn't started until a debug session is launched. In v3, launching the CCS application will launch the debugger (since IDE and debugger is tightly integrated).

So StartUp() is called when the debugger is launched for both v3 and v5. In v3, it is when you launch CCS. In v5, it is when a debug session is started. OnTargetConnect() works the same- when the target is connected.

Are there old Gel functions that do not make sense in the CCS5 environment?

StartUp() ?

OnTargetConnect() ?

OnReset() ?

OnPreFileLoaded() ?

OnRestart() ?

All those calls are relevant and work the same in both v3 and v5. Nothing really changed.

Thanks
