Running a program


You can use a run configuration to run a program on a target. You can reuse a previously created run configuration to run your program.

  1. Click Run > Run.
  2. Create your run configuration, if necessary. For more information, refer to Creating a run, debug, or profile configuration. Otherwise, select a run configuration in the Configurations list.
  3. Click Run.
    SDK downloads and executes the program on the target. You can view the progress messages on the XMD Console.

If the software program output is set to use serial interface, you can use any program such as hyperterminal or teraterm to view the program output. If the software program output is set to use JTAG Uart or MDM peripheral, type the command terminal on the XMD console to have SDK launch a window on which you can view the program output.

The software program stops upon completion, such as when it reaches the exit() function. If you want to stop the program execution prior to completion, type the command stop on the XMD console.
