CCS/TMS320F28035: Difference between load program and load symbol in ccs

Part Number: TMS320F28035

Tool/software: Code Composer Studio

I want to know what is difference between load program and load symbol in ccs5/ccs6?

I always only use “load program” for programming flash or debug in C28X MCU.

When I debug CLA in C28035, I find that it’d better view symbols in the CLA debug window, or you can’t use the C source single step.

In CCS v5, first click on the CLA processor in the debug window. Then load the symbols using the Run->Load->Load Symbols menu.

  • Hello,
    Load Program: will load the code to the target AND load the associated debug symbols to the CCS debugger.
    Load Symbols: will load only the associated debug symbols to the CCS debugger

    You would use Load Symbols if there is already code loaded on the target (whether you loaded it manually or via some other mechanism) and you wish to debug it. For that case, you only need to load the debug symbols to CCS since the code is already on the target.

    Thanks
