Connect to Target Button
The Connect to Target button starts a debug session using the following process:
1. Initializes the communication to the target hardware.
2. Resets the device.
3. Configures the device using the settings in the Configure Target dialog box.
4. Configures and executes the debugger options selected in the Debugger tab of the
Options dialog box. The following options are ignored if selected:
– Reset to Symbol 'main' (Where Applicable) checkbox
– Verify File Downloads – Read After Write checkbox
– Verify File Downloads – Upon Completion checkbox

This button does not download the software. Use this button to access target registers,
memory, and so on without loading new code or to avoid overwriting the target’s code
with the same code. This button is not enabled when the target is the simulator. This button
is available only when not in
Debug mode.
For the Serial Smart Cable, ZDS II performs an on-chip debugger reset and resets the CPU
at the vector reset location.
Download Code Button
The Download Code button downloads the executable file for the currently open project
to the target for debugging. The button also initializes the communication to the target
hardware if it has not been done yet. Starting in version 4.10.0, the
Download Code but-
ton can also program Flash memory. A page erase is done instead of a mass erase for both
internal and external Flash memory. Use this button anytime during a debug session. This
button is not enabled when the target is the simulator.
The current code on the target is overwritten.
If ZDS II is not in Debug mode when the Download Code button is clicked, the following
process is executed:
1. Initializes the communication to the target hardware.
2. Resets the device with a hardware reset by driving pin #2 of the debug header low.
3. Configures the device using the settings in the Configure Target dialog box.
4. Downloads the program.
5. Issues a software reset through the debug header serial interface.
