Getting Started

The µVision Debugger provides two ways to debug your embedded applications:

• Simulation
• Target Debugging

Simulation

µVision provides everything you need to quickly develop high-fidelity simulations that help you test, debug, and prove the stability and quality of your software design.

Before starting the µVision Debugger, select "Use Simulator" from the Project Options — Debug Tab to simulate programs in the debugger.

Target Debugging

µVision provides several interfaces to target hardware debuggers (like ULINK and the variety of target monitors provided by Keil). Additional hardware drivers are provided by target debugger hardware providers (emulator companies).

Before starting the µVision Debugger, select the target driver from the Project Options — Debug Tab to specify which target interface to use.

Starting the µVision Debugger

When you click the Start Debug Session button on the toolbar, µVision starts the debugger using the appropriate simulation or target debug driver.
