Launch Intel® System Debugger

1. Start Eclipse* IDE.

2. Minimize or close the User Guide view to launch the Target Connection Assistant wizard. If the wizard is not launched automatically, click New Connection in the main Eclipse toolbar.

   

3. If the target is connected properly, the wizard detects it automatically. Choose the connection mode depending on your target:

   • Physical Target

     Select Connect and detect a physically connected target and click Next.

     The wizard also displays an icon that identifies the detected probe. To learn more about the icons, see Target Indicator States. To check additional information on the connection, use the Target Indicator.

     

   • Virtual Target

     If the simulator is running locally, the wizard displays the detected IP and port.

     Select Connect to running Simics® Simulator, select your target from the list, and click Next.

     

4. In the Connection Summary dialog, check the pre-configured settings. You can see the following data:

   • Components of the detected target and their steppings (if available) in the Components pane.

   • Probe selected for connection.

   • Version of the running IPC provider.

   • Intel® System Debugger components supported by the current combination of target and connection method.

     See primary use cases that each component can be used for. If a particular component is not required for your goal, you can choose not to configure it (uncheck a corresponding box).

     

5. If any of the following is true for your debug session, check additional configuration options:

   • Your target platform runs an OS

   • You plan to debug a platform across low power states

   • You want to change IPC provider settings

6. If you want to establish the connection right now, check the Connect to target on finish box at the bottom-right.

7. Click Finish.

Wait until the debugger completes the session setup. Proceed with instructions for the particular component of Intel® System Debugger.
