Chapter 4: Configuring the Emulator
Modifying the General Configuration Items
To restrict the emulator to real-time runs
• Answer "yes" to the "Restrict to real-time runs?" question.
CAUTION
If your target system circuitry is dependent on constant execution of program code,
you should restrict the emulator to real-time runs. This will help insure that target
system damage does not occur. However, remember you can still execute the reset,
break, and step commands; you should use caution in executing these commands.
The default configuration does not restrict the emulator to real-time runs.
Therefore, the emulator might make temporary breaks into the monitor to complete
certain commands. However, you may wish to restrict runs to real-time to prevent
temporary breaks that might cause target system problems.
When runs are restricted to real-time and the emulator is running the user program,
all commands that cause a break (except reset, break, run, and step are refused.
The following commands are not allowed when runs are restricted to real-time and
the emulator is running the user program:
•
•
•
If you want to enter one of these commands, you must first make an explicit break
into the monitor using the break command.
Because the emulator contains dual-port emulation memory, commands that access
emulation memory are allowed while runs are restricted to real-time.
