Breakpoint Setup and Debugging
Instructions for setting breakpoints using the "F9" hotkey and initiating debugging are provided. Users must select the target device, typically a "Windows CE Device," and can examine variables and control execution at breakpoints.
Watching Variables
When execution is paused, the debugger displays local variables. Users can add variables to a "Watch" window for easier monitoring.
Target Deployment and Execution
Applications can be stored in NAND Flash for execution without a host computer. The "SpringBoard" utility runs applications at startup from the '/nandflash/startup/' directory.
Boot Sequence
The SeaPAC R9-7R follows a boot sequence starting with "firstboot," initializing hardware and loading "eboot" for configuration.
OS File Restoration and Upgrading
Updated OS files can be programmed to NAND Flash after erasing the existing image, using provided scripts for automation.
Network Configuration
The device uses DHCP for IP configuration, with settings modifiable via an XML configuration file.
Specifications
