Getting started with CCS debug interface¶

This section describes the debug interface offered by CCS.

Note

More extensive documentation is provided in the CCS Debug Environment Guide.

Start a debug session¶

To start a debug session, click on the debug icon. If enabled to do and required, this will trigger a software build. It will also automatically download the binary on the CC23xx or CC27xx device.

Note

The small arrow next to the debug button offers the possibility to modify the Debug Configurations.

If needed, make sure to select the proper process in the Debug View.

Reset the device while debugging¶

TI recommends to use the default reset command (i.e. click on the img_icon_reset_ccs button or use the shortcut Ctrl+Shift+R). Using other reset commands may lead to unexpected device behavior.

Build and flash the device while debugging¶

To rebuild the code and automatically flash the device during a debug session press the build img_icon_load_ccs button. Then press “yes” in the dialog box you can also click on the Reload Program img_icon_reload_program_ccs button (shortcut Ctrl+Alt+R)
