Hardware Debugger

What is Debugging?

Every developer comes to a point where he has to monitor the

code execution in order to nd errors in the code, or simply

to see if everything is going as planed. This hunt for bugs,

or errors in the code is called debugging. There are two ways

to do this: one is the software simulation, which enables

you to simulate what is supposed to be happening on the

microcontroller as your code lines are executed, and the other,

most reliable one, is monitoring the code execution on the

chip itself. And this latter one is called hardware debugging.

"hardware" means that it is the real deal - code executes right on

the target device.

What is hardware debugger?

The on-board mikroProg

™

programmer supports hardware

debugger - a highly eective tool for a Real-Time debugging

on hardware level. The debugger enables you to execute your

program on the host STM32 microcontroller and view variable

values, Special Function Registers (SFR), RAM, CODE and EEPROM

memory along with the code execution on hardware. Whether you

are a beginner, or a professional, this powerful tool, with intuitive

interface and convenient set of commands will enable you to track

down bugs quickly. mikroProg debugger is one of the fastest, and

most reliable debugging tools on the market.

Supported Compilers

All MikroElektronika compilers, mikroC

™

, mikroBasic

™

and

mikroPascal

™

for ARM® natively support mikroProg

™

for STM32,

as well as other compilers, including KEIL®, IAR®. Specialized

DLL module allows compilers to exploit the full potential of fast

hardware debugging. Along with compilers, make sure to install

the appropriate programmer drivers and mikroProg Suite

™

for ARM® programming software, as described on pages 14

and 15.

When you build your project for debugging, and program the microcontroller with this HEX le, you can

start the debugger using [F9] command. Compiler will change layout to debugging view, and a blue line

will mark where code execution is currently paused. Use debugging toolbar in the Watch Window

to guide the program execution, and stop anytime. Add the desired variables to Watch Window and

monitor their values.

How do I use the debugger?
