Hello World!
Published in Syed R. Rizvi, Microcontroller Programming, 2016
The linker can now take the object code generated by the assembler and create the final absolute code that will be executed on the target system. The emulation phase will take the absolute code and load it into the development system RAM. From here, the program may be debugged using breakpoints or single-stepping. A breakpoint in software development is an intentional stopping or pausing place in a program, put in place for debugging purposes. It is also referred to as a pause. More generally, a breakpoint is a means of acquiring knowledge about a program during its execution. Single-stepping is used when precise control over instruction execution is required. As each instruction is executed, control is passed back to the debugger, which disassembles the next instruction to be executed. Team Discussion: Map each field from Table 7.4 to the HELLO.S19 file given in Figure 7.4. You may refer to the HELLO.LST file given in Figure 7.5.Helpful Hint: For error messages, look at the assembler output listing file generated during assembly.Common Practice: Many times the free assembler is an old DOS tool that does not recognize long file names. For that reason, most programmers do not use long file names (> 8 characters).
Automation

If you place your mouse pointer directly over the envelope line, you can click + drag it up and down. This affects the entire clip. Notice that from the point you clicked a breakpoint was inserted. Use multiple breakpoints to create automation in segments along a track. They can be dragged in any direction you desire, up or down, forward or backward. To add a breakpoint, click anywhere on the envelope. To delete a breakpoint, just click on it. You can also click + drag it upward and downward to change values. You can also automate envelopes segments by making highlighted selection inside the Arrangement Track Display or along a Clip Envelope (Session or Arrangement View) with your mouse then click + hold on the line and drag upward/downward in the editor.
C Programming

Most modern C programming environments allow the user to obtain information about a program as it is running to aid the process of finding errors. A “breakpoint” is a location in a program at which the program pauses. The user can set a breakpoint at any executable statement. When the program pauses there, the state of the program can be determined by displaying values of active variables. These values can be reset to other values if desired. Then the program’s execution can be resumed from that point. The value of user-specified variables can be “watched” to see their values change during program execution. The flow of the program can be “traced” by displaying function calls as they occur.

Breakpoint feature. A breakpoint is a feature that can be set to suspend the execution of the running program [24]. Breakpoints help developers to pause the program and check the status of the working environment to find the root cause of issues in their code, as shown in Figure 4. With the similar nature of creating the robot behavior program and writing the code, we proposed the breakpoint feature to pause the robot behavior in the program at the specific nodes. Moreover, our system allows users to pause and continue the program with multiple breakpoints. When the program finds the first breakpoint, it will pause and continue from the specific node until it reaches the next breakpoint. By using breakpoints, non-expert users can observe the robot behavior in the simulated environment through the following features that we propose.
