Programming an Application

When the program is successfully debugged and running, the next step is to program

the device for stand-alone operation in the finished design. When doing this, the

resources reserved for debug are released for use by the application. To program the

application, use the following steps:

1. Disable Starter Kits as a debug tool by selecting Debugger>Select Tool>None.

2. Select Starter Kits as the programmer in the Programmer>Select Programmer

menu.

3. Select Programmer>Program.

At this point, the application code will run independently.

Note: This feature must be configured. Select Edit>Properties and click the

Tooltips tab, and select the “Enable Variable Mouseover Values” check

box.
