Setting Up the Debug Monitor

When the kernel faults, the device enters the debug monitor, called the Crash Debugger Console view of the Crash Debugger perspective.

Using the Debug Monitor

  1. Plug the main adaptor into the DC jack
  2. Connect the target device COM port to your PC
    1. In Carbide, create a launch configuration and set the serial port info as shown below
    2. If not using Carbide, set the PC serial port to 115200 baud, 8 bits, no parity, 1 stop bit, XON/XOFF flow control
  3. Press the ON key on the target device
  4. Start a terminal program on the PC
    1. In Carbide, output appears in the Crash Debugger Console view of the Crash Debugger Perspective
    2. For external verification of the COM port you can use HyperTerminal
  5. Press RETURN on the PC. The target device should reply with the prompt:

    Password:

  6. Enter the password "replacement" (all lower case, but without the quotes) on the PC.
  7. The target device should now reply:

    *** DEBUG MONITOR ***
