Option Description
Fetch SP and PC from Reset Vector When selected, the debugger fetches the base of the stack and the start address from the reset vector, and loads them into the Microcontroller's SP and PC, respectively. Used for ROM build targets.
Set PC to program Entry Point When selected, the debugger sets the Microcontroller's PC to the program's start address. Used to emulate reset for RAM build targets.
Set PC and SP to specified value When selected, the debugger takes the user-supplied values for SP and PC and loads them the corresponding Microcontroller registers. Used to reference the entry point of a boot loader. When selected, the SP: and PC: text entry boxes are active. Enter the hexadecimal addresses for SP and PC in these boxes.
Do not set SP or PC When selected, the debugger takes no action and the Microcontroller uses the default addresses in the PC and SP.
