Re: How to properly run insight for eCos application?

[Gene Smith <gds at chartertn dot net>]

Hello,
I don't know if I following everything you doing, but the "running man"
icon does not seem to do in insight what it does in most other
debuggers. Instead it means "reload your program" or something like
that. Once you see code on your screen you can set breakpoints and then
you must do the "continue" function: the ->{} icon or type C. When you
"continue" the running man changes to a STOP sign logo which you do
press to HALT your program. But to start up again, you do "continue".

Hope this helps.
