Target File Name Specifies the name the file will be copied to. This property will have macro expansion applied to it.

Library Properties

These properties are applicable to "library" project types.

Property Description
Library File Name Specifies the name of the output file produced by the librarian. This property will have macro expansion applied to it.

Target Properties

These properties are applicable to "executable" project types.

Property Description
Loader Path Specifies the file path of the loader program to use. This is typically used by targets that support FLASH download. It is not possible to download programs to FLASH using only the ARM's debug interface. A loader program therefore has to be downloaded and run from RAM prior to the download of the main application. The debugger communicates with the loader program over the ARM's debug comms channel.
Debug Interface Type Specifies whether the target's debug interface is ARM7TDI or ARM7DI compliant.
Reset Script The script that is executed when the target is reset. This script is typically responsible for resetting the target and configuring memory. See Target Script File for more information.
Software Breakpoint Instruction A hexadecimal number specifying the instruction opcode to use for the software breakpoint instruction. The default value is 0xDFFFDFFF which is a "swile 0xFFDFFF" instruction in the ARM instruction set and a "swi 0xFF" instruction in the THUMB instruction set.
