.SH NAME
idbg16 \- GENIX ISE Debugger 
.SH SYNOPSIS
.B idbg16
[ parameter [ = 
.I file
] ]
.SH DESCRIPTION
.I Idbg16 
is the software debugger program of 
ISE16 and ISE08, the G\s-2ENIX\s0 NS32016
and
NS32008 In-System Emulators.
.I Idbg16
runs on a UNIX system with G\s-2ENIX\s0 Cross-Support software or on
the G\s-2ENIX\s0 operating system.  It communicates with the ISE hardware,
which must be connected to the host system via an RS232 serial line.
.PP
The invocation command for 
.I idbg16 
is 
.I idbg16 
followed by <cr>, carriage return.
When 
.I idbg16
is invoked, these parameters may be specified:
.br
.ns
.TP 
\f3/noecho\f1 or \f3/echo\f1
Specifies whether the echo flag is on (\f3/echo\f1) or off (\f3/noecho\f1).
Default is \f3/echo\f1.
.br
.ns
.TP 
\f3/noindirect\f1 or \f3/indirect\f1=\f2file\f1
.B /indirect=\f2file\f1 tells 
.I idbg16
to look for, and execute, the debugging commands in 
.IR file .
.B /noindirect 
tells 
.I idbg16
not to look for an indirect file.
If neither is specified, 
.I idbg16
looks for an indirect file named ``idbg16.ini'' in the current
directory.
.I Idbg16
prints an error message if the file 
.I idbg16.ini 
does not exist and neither
.B /noindirect
or
\f3/indirect\f1=\f2file\f1
were specified.
.br
.ns
.TP 
\f3/noexecute\f1 or \f3/execute\f1=\f2file\f1
Names the executable file to be debugged  when
\f3/execute\f1=\f2file\f1 is specified.
The
.I idbg16
debugger will use
.I file
as a parameter to the debugger's Begin command.
The file to be debugged can also be selected after 
.I idbg16
has been invoked.
.B /noexecute 
does not specify any executable file and is the default.
.PP
After invocation and execution of
an initial indirect file,
.I idbg16
responds with the prompt ``-->''.
.I Idbg16 
commands can now be entered to down-load, execute, and 
debug a program on the ISE hardware.
The first 
.I idbg16
command issued 
must be a Select Link command, which tells
.I idbg16
how the ISE hardware is connected to the host system.
.PP
.I Idbg16
features an extensive on-line help
facility.  Type ``h'' in response to the
.I idbg16 
prompt.

.SH DIAGNOSTICS
There are three diagnostic programs for ISE16 and ISE08.
Level 1 diagnostics test
the monitor mode of the hardware.
Level 2 diagnostics test the emulation operation.
Level 3 diagnostics, also called 
.IR xcheck ,
test the ISE hardware.
