21 years agoIf you have included debug information in your build then debugging assembler files should work in the same way as for debugging C files. Or alternatively you could press the button which looks a bit like an inverted pile of bricks and debug in assembler mode.
You said your assembler is a replacement interrupt entry. With 1.0 (and 1.0 SP1) you should be careful about stepping through code which reads the ipending register as it will return the wrong value (these versions also display the wrong value in the registers window). This should be fixed in 1.1. The workaround is to set a breakpoint and continue to it. As for assembler documentation, the GAS manual is shipped as part of the kit. There were some omissions from the 1.0 version, but the 1.0 SP1 and later manuals should be complete. If you think there's still something missing then please let us know.
