Debugging Multiprocessors

Hi all,

I am making a project involving multiprocessors. I use host-based file system, so I must use debug mode. I made the steps included in the multiprocessor tutorial. When the debug session opens, I get options to debug each processor alone. Isn't there a way I could make something to make the IDE run all the program by itself instead of me debugging each processor ?

    There is another thing please. In the debug options, I have the "download to RAM" option in each processor. I have one processor working with the SDRAM and the other working with the SRAM. When I choose this option in both, where does the IDE download the program of each processor ?

    Thanks in advance

    If I understood multiprocessor debuging right, I think that program will be loaded to SDRAM (for one proc) and then to SRAM (to second proc). It is serial process, I think.

    Hi,

    I have tried the multiprocesor collection and it worked but I had to debug each step for each processor in order to perform the handshaking between them.

    I am working on a large no. of samples, so if I want to process all of them it will take a week!!

    Is there "any" way to automate this debug procedure, perhaps by SDK shell ?

    Thanks
