Use this tab to specify the program sections the debugger downloads to the target, and whether the debugger should read back those sections and verify them.
Note: Checking all checkboxes in the Program Download Options group significantly increases download time.
The Download tab shows the Download tab. Briefly, the section data types are:
- Executable - These sections contain your program's code.
- Constant Data - These sections contain your program's constants. These values can not be modified.
- Initialized Data - Initialized data sections contain your program's modifiable data.
- Uninitialized Data - Uninitialized data sections contain your program's uninitialized variables.
The following table explains each option.
First options apply to the first debugging session. Subsequent options apply to successive debugging sessions. The Download options control whether the debugger downloads the specified section data type to the target hardware. The Verify options control whether the debugger reads the specified section data type from the target hardware and compares the data read against the data written to the device.
| Section Data Type | Description |
|---|---|
| Executable | Controls downloading and verification for executable sections. Check appropriate checkboxes to specify downloading and verifications, for initial launch and for successive runs. |
| Constant Data | Controls downloading and verification for constant-data sections. Check appropriate checkboxes to specify downloading and verifications, for initial launch and for successive runs. |
| Initialized Data | Controls downloading and verification for initialized-data sections. Check appropriate checkboxes to specify downloading and verifications, for initial launch and for successive runs. |
| Uninitialized Data | Controls downloading and verification for uninitialized-data sections. Check appropriate checkboxes to specify downloading and verifications, for initial launch and for successive runs. |
| Select All | Selects all of the options available for downloading and verifying the program. |
