Restarting Debug Sessions

You may need to re-start a debugging session without re-programming the target chip. You can do this by using Debug Info objects. The Debug Info object contains information on how the chip was programmed for debug.

To obtain a Debug Info object, you need to program your device for debug and then retrieve the Debug Info object from the Debug Session object:

  NSDSP.create(serial)
  Session = NSDSP.startProgSession(mcu, readOnly = false)
  Session.checkId(adjustRate = true)

  debugSession = Session.programForDebug(hexMap, tcy)

  debugInfo = debugSession.getInfo

  // Debugging here

  NSDSP.endSession
  NSDSP.free

When you need to start a new debug session with the same chip, you can skip programming and use the Debug Info object instead:

  NSDSP.create(serial)
  debugSession = NSDSP.startDebugSession(debugInfo)

  // Debugging here

  NSDSP.endSession
  NSDSP.free

You can re-use the Debug Info as many times as you need, however, if you re-program the chip, you must free all the old Debug Info object and obtain a new one.
