The TMPro Debugger is invoked by selecting the ”Toshiba Debugger” program group

Monitor program in the external flash memory on the board.

Debugger on the PC and the respective Monitor (..\monitor\toshiba.h20) being started on
TOPAS900 Flash board. Hence, in beforehand the TOPAS900 board has to be connected
and active which is notified by the quickly flashing yellow LED. Invoking the TMPro
Debugger sets up the serial transfer line. Important to know when creating new
debugging profiles is the fixed communication speed of 38400 baud. The success in
setting this connection can be watched by LED stopping to flash a short while and
subsequently the Monitor will change the ratio of flashing to ca. 1:5. Hence, both the
Debugger and the Monitor are ready to work together.
