Minimal debugging mode
By default, the debugger automatically displays whatever code is currently
running—assembly language or C. A DISASSEMBLY window, CPU register
window, MEMORY window, CALLS window, or more windows may be dis-
played. The 'C2xx debugger has a minimal debugging mode that displays the
COMMAND window, WATCH window, and DISP window only. The WATCH
and DISP windows are displayed only if you cause them to display (by entering
the WA or DISP commands).
Minimal mode allows you to query the target system without displaying any
additional information. You can display the contents of CPU registers, memory
addresses, or symbols within the COMMAND window by using the WA, DISP,
and ?/EVAL commands. You can use any of the standard debugger com-
mands in the COMMAND window. If you use the C, ASM, or MIX commands,
the debugging mode changes to the auto mode, assembly mode, or mixed
mode, respectively. To return to minimal mode, use the MINIMAL command.
You can also specify the minimal mode by choosing Minimal from the Mode
menu or by using the –min option when invoking the debugger.
The running indicator
When the debugger causes the processor to run code, the debugger displays
Running... in the title of the COMMAND window. This occurs when you use the
RUN, GO, or RET command; the single-stepping commands do not change
the title of the COMMAND window.
