Configuration Manager – Debug & Release Build
Using the configuration manager, the OS Design can be configured to generate a debug or
release image. A debug image will provide debug messages when the compiled OS image loads
and executes applications and modules. The size of the debug image is generally about 50%
larger in size comparing to the release image built from the same OS design. For the purpose of
this guide, let’s select the release build.

• From VS2005 IDE, select Build | Configuration Manager… to bring up the
Configuration Manager screen. From the Active solution configuration selection
options, select ICOP_Vortex86_60CS x86 Release and click the Close button to set the
OS Design to generate a Release image.
Note: A Debug image provides more detailed system status and activities information
during startup of the OS and when application modules are executing. To generate a
debug image, repeat this step and select ICOP_Vortex86_60CS x86 Debug option
instead, and continue to finish building a debug image.
