Creating task for import/export/fill memory

Use the Import/Export/Fill Memory utility to perform various tasks on memory. The utility can be accessed from the Target Tasks view.

To open the Target Tasks view:

  1. Choose Window > Show View > Other from the IDE menu bar.

    The Show View dialog appears.

  2. Expand the Debug group.
  3. Select Target Tasks.
  4. Click OK.

The first time it opens, the Target Tasks view contains no tasks. You must create a task to use the Import/Export/Fill Memory utility.

To create a task:

  1. Click the Create a new Target Task button on the toolbar of the Target Tasks view. Alternatively, right-click the left-hand list of tasks and choose New Task from the shortcut menu that appears.

    The Create a New Target Task page appears.

  2. In the Task Name textbox, enter a name for the new task.
  3. Use the Run Configuration pop-up menu to specify the configuration that the task launches and uses to connect to the target.
    Note: If the task does not successfully launch the configuration that you specify, the Execute button of the Target Tasks view toolbar stays unavailable.
  4. Use the Task Type pop-up menu to specify Import/Export/Fill Memory.
  5. Click Finish.

    The Import/Export/Fill Memory target task is created and it appears in the Import/Export/Fill Memory Action editor.
