Emulator/Analyzer Interface Commands
step
step
The step command allows sequential analysis of program instructions by
causing the emulation processor to execute a specified number of assembly
instructions or source lines.
You can display the contents of the processor registers, trace memory, and
emulation or target memory after each step command.
Source line stepping is implemented by single stepping assembly instructions
until the next PC is beyond the address range of the current source line.
When attempting source line stepping on assembly code (with no associated
source line), stepping will complete when a source line is found. Therefore,
stepping only assembly code may step forever. To abort stepping, press
<CTRL>c.
When displaying memory mnemonic and stepping, the next instruction that
will step is highlighted. The memory mnemonic display autopages to the new
address if the next PC goes outside of the currently displayed address range.
This feature works even if stepping is performed in a different emulation
window than one displaying memory mnemonic.
If no value is entered for <NUMBER> times, only one step instruction is
executed each time you press <RETURN>. Multiple instructions can be
executed by holding down the <RETURN> key. Also, the default step is for
assembly code lines, not source code lines.
