To Load A Symbol Database - HP MC68040 User Manual

Chapter 4: Using the Emulator
Using Symbols

To load a symbol database

• Choose File→Load→Symbols Only... In the dialog box, click on the name of the
desired symbols file, and then click OK.
• Using the command line, load a new symbol database by entering the command:
load symbols <filename>
<filename> is the name of the absolute file in HP64000 or IEEE-695 format for
which you want to load symbols.
The load symbols command is useful when your system uses several different
absolute files or when the target program resides in target ROM and is not loaded
through the emulator. The symbol database for the most recently loaded absolute
file is the current symbol database. If you want to use a symbol database from a
different absolute file without reloading the file, use the load symbols command to
load only the symbol database for that file.
Example
Suppose you have a system that uses two absolute files, one called system.x and
another called task.x. You load these as follows:
load system.x
load task.x
The symbol database for task.x will be available because it was loaded last. To
reference symbols from system.x, use the command:
load symbols system.x
Now the symbol database for task.x will not be available.
