To use the Modtronix Embedded Debugger, a project folder containing "Modtronix Embedded Debugger Project Files" has be be selected. The "Modtronix Embedded Debugger Project Files" must be called "debug.xml" or "mxdebug.xml". For details on the format of this file, see the "Details" section of this document! Each project can contain multiple project files!

When selecting a project folder, the folder and all sub folders will be scanned for "debug.xml" and "mxdebug.xml" project files. Each project file found will be added to the current session. Selected source code downloads from the Modtronix Web site contains project files, and can be used with the Modtronix Embedded Debugger. To use it:

• Select the root folder of the source code for the project you want to debug. This folder (or sub folders) will be scanned for project files. For the Modtronix SBC65EC Web Server project for example, select the "../src" folder of the downloaded source code.
• Compile the source code with debug mode enabled. This means that debug messages will be written out onto the serial port while the code on the board is running. See the relevant source code documentation for details.
• Connect the RS232 port of the Modtronix Embedded Board to the computer running the Modtronix Embedded Debugger. Ensure the Serial port and baud rate of both program and embedded board match!
• Debug information will now be displayed in the relevant tabs in the Modtronix Embedded Debugger.
