Targeting MC56F83xx/DSP5685x Controllers
The IDE uses linker command files to control the linker, so you do not need to specify
a list of object files. The Project Manager tracks all the object files automatically; it
lets you specify the link order.
When linking succeeds, you are ready to test and debug your application.
Debugging
To debug your application, select Project>Debug from the main-window menu
bar. The debugger window opens, displaying your program code.
Run the application from within the debugger, to observe results. The debugger lets
you set breakpoints, and check register, parameter, and other values at specific points
of code execution.
When your code executes correctly, you are ready to add features, to release the
application to testers, or to release the application to customers.
NOTE
Another debugging feature of the CodeWarrior IDE is viewing
preprocessor output. This helps you track down bugs cause by macro
expansion or another subtlety of the preprocessor. To use this feature,
specify the output filename in the project window, then select
Project>Preprocess from the main-window menu bar. A new
window opens to show the preprocessed file.
