Debugging for DSP56800E
Command Converter Server
191Targeting MC56F83xx/DSP5685x Controllers
Essential Target Settings for Command
Converter Server
Before you can download programs to a target board for debugging, you must specify
the target settings for the command converter server:
• Local Settings
If you specify that the CodeWarrior IDE start the command converter server
locally, the command converter server uses the connection port (for example,
LPT1) that you specified when you installed CodeWarrior Development Studio
for Motorola 56800/E Hybrid Controllers.
• Remote Settings
If you specify that the CodeWarrior IDE start the command converter server on a
remote machine, specify the IP address of the remote machine on your network
(as described in “Setting Up a Remote Connection.”
)
• Default Settings
By default, the command converter server listens on port 41475. You can specify
a different port number for the debugger to connect to if needed (as described in
“Setting Up a Remote Connection.”
) This is necessary if the CCS is configured to
a port other than 41475.
After you have specified the correct settings for the command converter server (or
verified that the default settings are correct), you can download programs to a target
board for debugging.
The CodeWarrior IDE starts the command converter server at the appropriate time if
you are debugging on a local target.
Before debugging on a board connected to a remote machine, ensure the following:
• The command converter server is running on the remote host machine.
• Nobody is debugging the board connected to the remote host machine.
Changing the Command Converter Server
Protocol to Parallel Port
If you specified the wrong parallel port for the command converter server when you
installed CodeWarrior Development Studio for Motorola 56800/E Hybrid Controllers,
you can change the port.
