Ride7 for ARM Debugging with the Simulator
- 17 -
To launch the simulator, type CTRL–D or select Debug -> Start in the main menu. If your project
has not been built, this will be done automatically before launching the simulator. Otherwise the
simulator is launched directly.
You are now in the simulator. Your Ride7 window looks like the following:
1. The upper part of the Debug tab, which shows the different Data views available on a given
microcontroller. To see a specific view, double-click on its name.
2. The lower part of the Debug tab, which shows the peripherals available on a given
microcontroller. Most of these peripherals are NOT simulated. To see a specific peripheral,
double-click on its name.
3. The source file as edited in C or in assembly language. The green circles at the left indicate
lines that contain instructions where you can place breakpoints. The line highlighted in blue
indicates the current PC. That's the next instruction to be executed.
4. The Disassembly view window, which displays the instruction to be executed by the
simulator. It is a dump of the memory where the code is located (see below for more
information). Note the blue arrow at the beginning of the line indicates the current PC, as in
the source window.
The following columns are available in the Code window:
 Address: The address where the instruction is located.
 Symbol: The name of the symbol, if a symbol is located at this address.
