CHAPTER 9: DEBUGGER
9.7.3 Executing from a Command File
Another method for executing commands is to use a command file that contains descriptions of a series
of debug commands. By reading a command file into the debugger the commands written in it can be
executed.
Creating a command file
Create a command file as a text file using an editor.
Although there are no specific restrictions on the extension of a file name, Seiko Epson recommends
using ".cmd".
Command files can also be created using the rec command. The rec command creates a command file
and saves the executed commands to the file.
Example of a command file
The example below shows a command group necessary to read an object file and an option file.
Example : File name = startup.cmd
lf test.abs
lo testf.hex
lo tests.hex
A command file to write the commands that come with a guidance mode can be executed. In this case,
be sure to break the line for each guidance input item as a command is written.
Reading in and executing a command file
There are two methods to read a command file into the debugger and to execute it, as described
below.
(1) Execution by the start-up option
By specifying a command file in the debugger start-up command, one command file can be executed
when the debugger starts up.
If the above example of a command file is specified, for example, the necessary files are read into the
debugger immediately after the debugger starts up, so everything is ready to debug the program.
Example : Startup command of the debugger
db62 startup.cmd ics62xxp.par
(2) Execution by a command
The debugger has the com commands available that can be used to execute a command file.
The com command reads in a specified file and executes the commands in that file sequentially in the
order they are written. An execution interval between the commands can be specified up to 30
seconds.
Example : com startup.cmd
The commands written in the command file are displayed in the [Command] window.
Restrictions
Another command file can be read from within a command file. However, nesting of these command
files is limited to a maximum of five levels. An error is assumed and the subsequent execution is
halted when the com command at the sixth level is encountered.
