Create a Sample Project

Create or reopen the project myproject as created in Create a Project. Use the default values and make sure that you:
- select Hello World C project in the New C/C++ Project wizard.
- enable at least the Debug configuration.

Edit the file myproject.c as follows:

#include <stdio.h>

int main( void )
{
    int i;
    for (i=1; i<=3; i++)
    {
        printf( "%d\n",i );
    }
    printf( "Hello world, " );
    printf( "this is \n" );
    printf( "a small %dst\n",i-3 );
    printf( "debugging example.\n" );
}

Save the file.
Build your project.

To be able to debug, it is essential that your project has been built properly!

All steps required above are demonstrated in Setting up a Project.

Debugging an 8051 project

In order to debug an 8051 project, follow the steps below.

Create an 8051 project (for example, myproject), as explained above.
(Optional) Build the 8051 project. This step is optional because the .out file is built automatically when the project is referenced and built from a TriCore project. See step 5.
This results in a linked output file (.out).
Create a TriCore project.
In the TriCore project, make a project reference to the 8051 project.
Build the TriCore project.
This builds the referenced 8051 project and creates the .out file in the Debug directory of the 8051 project. Furthermore this creates a TriCore ELF file and an 8051 ELF file in the Debug directory of the TriCore project.
Make the 8051 project the active project.
Create a debug configuration for the 8051 project, as explained in Create a Debug Configuration.
Start the debugger, as explained in Start a Debug Session.

If you want to debug with the 8051 simulator, you can add an extra post link step to build a standalone 8051 project and create an absolute ELF file that you can debug. To do this:

From the Project menu, select Properties for myproject.
The Properties dialog appears.
Select C/C++ Build » Settings.
Open the Build Steps tab.

Add the following command line to the Command field under Post-build steps:

"${PRODDIR}/bin/lk51" -dtc49x.lsl -M -o ${PROJ}.elf ${PROJ}.out --core=mpe:xc800

Click Apply and Close.

Debugging an ARC project

In order to debug an ARC project, follow the steps below.

Make sure the Synopsys ARC^® nSIM Instruction Set Simulator is present. This simulator is not part of the SmartCode product, you need to order it separately from Synopsys^®. Then copy the 64-bit Windows file libsim.dll to the following directory:
```
^{<installation-dir>\eclipse\plugins\com.tasking.arc.debug.win32.x86_64_1.4.0.0\carc\bin}
```
Create an ARC project (for example, myproject), as explained above.
Build the ARC project.
This results in an ELF file (.elf).
Create a debug configuration for the ARC project with the Synopsys nSIM Simulator as target, if you have not already done so when creating the project. See Create a Debug Configuration.
Start the debugger, as explained in Start a Debug Session.

Note that when you have a project reference from a TriCore project to the ARC project, the ARC project is built automatically when you build the TriCore project.
