Printing History
New editions are complete revisions of the manual. The date on the title
page changes only when a new edition is published.
A software code may be printed before the date; this indicates the version
level of the software product at the time the manual was issued. Many
product updates and fixes do not require manual changes, and manual
corrections may be done without accompanying product changes. Therefore,
do not expect a one-to-one correspondence between product updates and
manual revisions.

Real-Time C Debugger — Overview
The Real-Time C Debugger is an MS Windows application that lets you debug
C language programs for embedded microprocessor systems.
The debugger controls HP 64700 emulators and analyzers either on the local
area network (LAN) or connected to a personal computer with an RS-232C
interface or the HP 64037 RS-422 interface. It also controls HP E3490A
Software Probes on the LAN. It takes full advantage of the emulator’s
real-time capabilities to allow effective debug of C programs while running in
real time.
The debugger is an MS Windows application
• You can display different types of debugger information in different
windows, just as you display other windows in MS Windows applications.
• You can complete a wide variety of debug-related tasks without exiting
the debugger. You can, for example, edit files or compile your programs
without exiting the debugger.
• You can cut text from the debugger windows to the clipboard, and
clipboard contents may be pasted into other windows or dialog boxes.
The debugger communicates at high speeds
• You can use the HP 64700 LAN connection or the RS-422 connection for
high-speed data transfer (including program download). These
connections give you an efficient debugging environment.
You can debug programs in C context
• You can display C language source files (optionally with intermixed
assembly language code).
• You can display program symbols.
• You can display the stack backtrace.
• You can display and edit the contents of program variables.
• You can step through programs, either by source lines or assembly
language instructions.
• You can step over functions.
• You can run programs until the current function returns.
4
• You can run programs up to a particular source line or assembly language
instruction.
• You can set breakpoints in the program and define macros (which are
collections of debugger commands) that execute when the breakpoint is
hit. Break macros provide for effective debugging without repeated
command entry.
You can display and modify processor resources
• You can display and edit the contents of memory locations in
hexadecimal or as C variables.
• You can display and edit the contents of microprocessor registers
including on-chip peripheral registers.
• You can display and modify individual bits and fields of bit-oriented
registers.
You can trace program execution (emulator only)
• You can trace control flow at the C function level.
• You can trace the callers of a function.
• You can trace control flow within a function at the C statement level.
• You can trace all C statements that access a variable.
• You can trace before, and break program execution on, a C variable being
set to a specified value.
• You can make custom trace specifications.
You can debug your program while it runs continuously at full speed
• You can configure the debugger to prevent it from automatically
initiating any action that may interrupt user program execution. This
ensures that the user program executes in real time, so you can debug
your design while it runs in a real-world operating mode.
• You can inspect and modify C variables and data structures without
interrupting execution.
• You can set and clear breakpoints without interrupting execution.
• You can perform all logic analysis functions, observing C program and
variable activity, without interrupting program execution.
