ABSTRACT
The robotics mainly aims at reduction of man-power by designing

automated systems. In the present scenario of increase in wars and terrorist activities,
unmanned systems play a very important role to minimize human losses. This
2
landmine detecting robot is one such automated unmanned system used for detecting
landmines.
The microcontroller forms the heart of the system with landmine

sensor, drivers and motors connected to it. These are used for moving the robot in
desired direction and detecting landmines present if any. The sensor detects the metal
(conductor) by using metal detector.
The system uses a battery for power supply. The buzzer is interfaced
with the microcontroller which goes on immediately on detection of metal by metal
detector. In stand-by mode the robot just moves in different directions.
This project finds its application for military purposes and policing
purposes.
1. INTRODUCTION
EMBEDDED SYSTEMS
Embedded systems are designed to do some specific task rather than be a

general-purpose computer for multiple tasks. Some also has real time performance
constraints that must be met, for reason such as safety and usability; others may have
3
low or no performance requirements, allowing the system hardware to be simplified to

reduce costs.
An embedded system is not always a separate block - very often it is

physically built-in to the device it is controlling.
The software written for embedded systems is often called firmware, and is
stored in read-only memory or flash convector chips rather than a disk drive. It often
runs with limited computer hardware resources: small or no keyboard, screen, and
little memory.
ROBOTICS
Robotics is the science and technology of robots, their design, manufacture,
and application. Robotics requires a working knowledge of electronics, mechanics
and software, and is usually accompanied by a large working knowledge of many
subjects. A person working in the field is a robotics.
Although the appearance and capabilities of robots vary vastly, all robots share
the features of a mechanical, movable structure under some form of autonomous
control. The structure of a robot is usually mostly mechanical and can be called a
kinematic chain (its functionality being akin to the skeleton of the human body). The
chain is formed of links (its bones), actuators (its muscles) and joints which can allow
one or more degrees of freedom. Most contemporary robots use open serial chains in
which each link connects the one before to the one after it. These robots are called
serial robots and often resemble the human arm. Some robots, such as the Stewart
platform, use closed parallel kinematic chains. Other structures, such as those that
mimic the mechanical structure of humans, various animals and insects, are
comparatively rare. However, the development and use of such structures in robots is
an active area of research (e.g. biomechanics). Robots used as manipulators have an
end effector mounted on the last link. This end effector can be anything from a
welding device to a mechanical hand used to manipulate the environment.

SCHEMATIC EXPLANATION:
Power supply:
The main aim of this power supply is to convert the 230V AC into 5V DC in
order to give supply for the TTL or CMOS devices. In this process we are using a step
down transformer, a bridge rectifier, a smoothing circuit and the RPS.
At the primary of the transformer we are giving the 230V AC supply. The
secondary is connected to the opposite terminals of the Bridge rectifier as the input.
From other set of opposite terminals we are taking the output to the rectifier.
The bridge rectifier converts the AC coming from the secondary of the
transformer into pulsating DC. The output of this rectifier is further given to the
smoother circuit which is capacitor in our project. The smoothing circuit eliminates
the ripples from the pulsating DC and gives the pure DC to the RPS to get a constant
output DC voltage. The RPS regulates the voltage as per our requirement.

MICRO CONTROLLER (AT89S51)
Introduction
A Micro controller consists of a powerful CPU tightly coupled with memory,
various I/O interfaces such as serial port, parallel port timer or counter, interrupt
controller, data acquisition interfaces-Analog to Digital converter, Digital to Analog
converter, integrated on to a single silicon chip.
If a system is developed with a microprocessor, the designer has to go for

external memory such as RAM, ROM, EPROM and peripherals. But controller is
provided all these facilities on a single chip. Development of a Micro controller
reduces PCB size and cost of design.
One of the major differences between a Microprocessor and a Micro controller

is that a controller often deals with bits not bytes as in the real world application.
Intel has introduced a family of Micro controllers called the MCS-51.

PIN DIAGRAM:
Figure: pin diagram of micro controller
PIN DESCRIPTION:
VCC - Supply voltage.
GND - Ground.
Port 0:
Port 0 is an 8-bit open drain bidirectional I/O port. As an output port, each pin can
sink eight TTL inputs. When 1s are written to port 0 pins, the pins can be used as high-
impedance inputs. Port 0 can also be configured to be the multiplexed low-order
address/data bus during accesses to external program and data memory. In this mode, P0
has internal pull-ups. Port 0 also receives the code bytes during Flash programming and
outputs the code bytes during program verification. External pull-ups are required
during program verification.
11
Port 1:
Port 1 is an 8-bit bidirectional I/O port with internal pull-ups. The Port 1 output
buffers can sink/source four TTL inputs. When 1s are written to Port 1 pins, they are pulled
high by the internal pull-ups and can be used as inputs. As inputs, Port 1 pins that are
externally being pulled low will source current (IIL) because of the internal pull-ups. Port 1
also receives the low-order address bytes during Flash programming and verification.
Port 2:
externally being pulled low will source current (IIL) because of the internal pull-ups. Port 2
also receives the high-order address bits and some control signals during Flash
programming and verification.
Port 3:
externally being pulled low will source current (IIL) because of the pull-ups. Port 3
receives some control signals for Flash programming and verification. Port 3 also serves the
functions of various special features of the AT89S51, as shown in the following table.
12
RST:
Reset input. A high on this pin for two machine cycles while the oscillator is
running resets the device. This pin drives High for 98 oscillator periods after the Watchdog
times out. The DISRTO bit in SFR AUXR (address 8EH) can be used to disable this
feature. In the default state of bit DISRTO, the RESET HIGH out feature is enabled.
ALE/PROG:
Address Latch Enable (ALE) is an output pulse for latching the low byte of the
address during accesses to external memory. This pin is also the program pulse input
(PROG) during Flash programming. In normal operation, ALE is emitted at a constant rate
of 1/6 the oscillator frequency and may be used for external timing or clocking purposes.
Note, however, that one ALE pulse is skipped during each access to external data memory.
If desired, ALE operation can be disabled by setting bit 0 of SFR location 8EH. With the bit
set, ALE is active only during a MOVX or MOVC instruction. Otherwise, the pin is weakly
pulled high. Setting the ALE-disable bit has no effect if the microcontroller is in external
execution mode.
PSEN:
Program Store Enable (PSEN) is the read strobe to external program memory. When
the AT89S51 is executing code from external program memory, PSEN is activated twice
each machine cycle, except that two PSEN activations are skipped during each access to
external data memory.
13
EA/VPP:
External Access Enable. EA must be strapped to GND in order to enable the device
to fetch code from external program memory locations starting at 0000H up to FFFFH.
Note, however, that if lock bit 1 is programmed, EA will be internally latched on reset. EA
should be strapped to VCC for internal program executions. This pin also receives the 12-
volt programming enable voltage (VPP) during Flash programming.
XTAL1:
Input to the inverting oscillator amplifier and input to the internal clock operating
circuit.
XTAL2:
Output from the inverting oscillator amplifier.
Oscillator Characteristics:
XTAL1 and XTAL2 are the input and output, respectively, of an inverting
amplifier which can be configured for use as an on-chip oscillator, as shown in Figs
6.2.3. Either a quartz crystal or ceramic resonator may be used. To drive the device
from an external clock source, XTAL2 should be left unconnected while XTAL1 is
driven as shown in Figure 6.2.4.There are no requirements on the duty cycle of the
external clock signal, since the input to the internal clocking circuitry is through a
divide-by-two flip-flop, but minimum and maximum voltage high and low time
specifications must be observed.

POWER SUPPLY:
There are many types of power supply. Most are designed to convert high
voltage AC mains electricity to a suitable low voltage supply for electronics circuits
and other devices. A power supply can by broken down into a series of blocks, each
of which performs a particular function.
For example a 5V regulated supply:
Description
A variable regulated power supply, also called a variable bench power supply,
is one where you can continuously adjust the output voltage to your requirements.
Varying the output of the power supply is the recommended way to test a project after
having double checked parts placement against circuit drawings and the parts
placement guide.
This type of regulation is ideal for having a simple variable bench power supply.
Actually this is quite important because one of the first projects a hobbyist should
undertake is the construction of a variable regulated power supply. While a dedicated
supply
TRANSFORMER:
Transformers convert AC electricity from one voltage to another with little

loss of power. Transformers work only with AC and this is one of the reasons why
mains electricity is AC. Step-up transformers increase voltage, step-down
transformers reduce voltage. Most power supplies use a step-down transformer to
reduce the dangerously high mains voltage to a safer low voltage. The input coil is
15
called the primary and the output coil is called the secondary. There is no electrical
connection between the two coils, instead they are linked by an alternating magnetic
field created in the soft-iron core of the transformer. The two lines in the middle of the
circuit symbol represent the core. Transformers waste very little power so the power
out is (almost) equal to the power in. Note that as voltage is stepped down current is
stepped up. The ratio of the number of turns on each coil, called the turns ratio,
determines the ratio of the voltages. A step-down transformer has a large number of
turns on its primary (input) coil which is connected to the high voltage mains supply,
and a small number of turns on its secondary (output) coil to give a low output
voltage.

Turns ratio = Vp/VS = Np/NS

Full wave rectifier
Full wave rectifier circuit is shown in fig2(a). The transformer

secondary has a centre-tap and each half give voltage of Vm. In each half there is one
diode i.e. D1 and D2.the load resistance Rl is common to both halves. This can be
seen to comprise of two half-wave circuits. On the positive half cycle, when the point
is positive w.r.t point B, the Diode D1 conducts and current i1 flows through Rl .
16
During this half cycle, the point C is negative w.r.t point B and hence the diode D2
does not conduct. Therefore i2=0.
On the negative half cycle the point C is positive w.r.t. point B. hence the diode
D2 conducts and current i2 flows through RL. During this half cycle. The point A is
negative w.r.t point B and hence the diode D1 does not conduct. Therefore i1=0
Fig2(b) and Fig2(c) shows the waveforms of currents i1 and i2. Since both i1
and i2 flow through the load RL, the current i through RL is i= i1+i2, which is
obtained by adding the two waveform and is shown in Fig2(d)

Capacitor Filter:
We have seen that the ripple content in the rectified output of half wave
rectifier is 121% or that of full-wave or bridge rectifier or bridge rectifier is 48%
such high percentages of ripples is not acceptable for most of the applications. Ripples
can be removed by one of the following methods of filtering:
(a) A capacitor, in parallel to the load, provides a easier by –pass for the ripples
voltage though it due to low impedance
At ripple frequency and leave the d.c.to appears the load.
18
(b) An inductor, in series with the load, prevents the passage of the ripple current (due
to high impedance at ripple frequency) while allowing the d.c (due to low resistance
to d.c)
(c) Various combinations of capacitor and inductor, such as L-section filter

section filter, multiple section filter etc. which make use of both the properties
mentioned in (a) and (b) Above.
Two cases of capacitor filter, one applied on half wave rectifier and another with
full wave rectifier.
Full-wave Rectifier with capacitor filter:
Fig 4(a) shows the circuit diagram, with a full wave rectifier comprising of a center-
tapped secondary winding and two diodes. All the analysis given in this section are
also valid for a bridge rectifier, which also gives full-wave rectification. The filter
capacitor C is connected in parallel with load resistance RL.
In a manner similar to half-wave circuit with capacitor filter, in this circuit also the
capacitor C will get charged during short periods and thereafter, discharge through the
load resistance RL. One notable difference here is that the discharge duration is
shorter, whereas in half-wave case the duration was longer due to the missing half –
waves in between. As a result, the average value of output voltage is higher.
Bridge Rectifier A bridge rectifier makes use of four diodes in a bridge arrangement
to achieve full-wave rectification. This is a widely used configuration, both with
individual diodes wired as shown and with single component bridges where the
diode bridge is wired internally.

Fig 6.1.3 A Typical Bridge Rectifier Circuit
Current Flow in the Bridge Rectifier
Fig 6.1.4 Current Flow in the Bridge Rectifier
For both positive and negative swings of the transformer, there is a forward
path through the diode bridge. Both conduction paths cause current to flow in the
same direction through the load resistor, accomplishing full-wave rectification. While
one set of diodes is forward biased, the other set is reverse biased and effectively
eliminated from the circuit.
20
Fig 6.1.5 Current Flow in the Bridge Rectifier
Smoothing:
Smoothing is performed by a large value electrolytic capacitor connected
across the DC supply to act as a reservoir, supplying current to the output when the
varying DC voltage from the rectifier is falling. The diagram shows the unsmoothed
varying DC (dotted line) and the smoothed DC (solid line). The capacitor charges
quickly near the peak of the varying DC, and then discharges as it supplies current to
the output. Smoothing significantly increases the average DC voltage to almost the
peak value (1.4 × RMS value). For example 6V RMS AC is rectified to full wave DC
of about 4.6V RMS (1.4V is lost in the bridge rectifier), with smoothing this increases
to almost the peak value giving 1.4 × 4.6 = 6.4V smooth DC. Smoothing is not
perfect due to the capacitor voltage falling a little as it discharges, giving a small
ripple voltage. For many circuits a ripple, which is 10% of the supply voltage, is
satisfactory and the equation below gives the required value for the smoothing
capacitor. A larger capacitor will give less ripple. The capacitor value must be
doubled when smoothing half-wave DC.
Regulator:
Most digital logic circuits and processors need a 5-volt power supply. To use these
parts we need to build a regulated 5-volt source. Usually you start with an unregulated
power supply ranging from 9 volts to 24 volts DC (A 12 volt power supply is included
21
with the beginner kit and the Microcontroller. To make a 5 volt power supply, we use
a LM7805 voltage regulator IC (Integrated Circuit). The IC is shown below.
FIG 7.1
The LM7805 is simple to use. You simply connect the positive lead of your
unregulated DC power supply (anything from 9VDC to 24VDC) to the Input pin,
connect the negative lead to the Common pin and then when you turn on the power,
you get a 5 volt supply from the Output pin.

DC Motor
DC motors are configured in many types and sizes, including brush
less, servo, and gear motor types. A motor consists of a rotor and a permanent
magnetic field stator. The magnetic field is maintained using either permanent
magnets or electromagnetic windings. DC motors are most commonly used in
variable speed and torque.
Motion and controls cover a wide range of components that in some
way are used to generate and/or control motion. Areas within this category include
bearings and bushings, clutches and brakes, controls and drives, drive components,
encoders and resolves, Integrated motion control, limit switches, linear actuators,
linear and rotary motion components, linear position sensing, motors (both AC and
DC motors), orientation position sensing, pneumatics and pneumatic components,
positioning stages, slides and guides, power transmission (mechanical), seals, slip
rings, solenoids, springs.
Motors are the devices that provide the actual speed and torque in a
drive system. This family includes AC motor types (single and multiphase motors,
universal, servo motors, induction, synchronous, and gear motor) and DC motors
(brush less, servo motor, and gear motor) as well as linear, stepper and air motors, and
motor contactors and starters.
24
In any electric motor, operation is based on simple electromagnetism.

A current-carrying conductor generates a magnetic field; when this is then placed in
an external magnetic field, it will experience a force proportional to the current in the
conductor, and to the strength of the external magnetic field. As you are well aware of
from playing with magnets as a kid, opposite (North and South) polarities attract,
while like polarities (North and North, South and South) repel. The internal
configuration of a DC motor is designed to harness the magnetic interaction between a
current-carrying conductor and an external magnetic field to generate rotational
motion.
Let's start by looking at a simple 2-pole DC electric motor (here red

represents a magnet or winding with a "North" polarization, while green represents a
magnet or winding with a "South" polarization).
Every DC motor has six basic parts -- axle, rotor (a.k.a., armature), stator,
commutator, field magnet(s), and brushes. In most common DC motors (and all that
Beamers will see), the external magnetic field is produced by high-strength permanent
magnets1. The stator is the stationary part of the motor -- this includes the motor
casing, as well as two or more permanent magnet pole pieces. The rotor (together with
the axle and attached commutator) rotates with respect to the stator. The rotor consists
of windings (generally on a core), the windings being electrically connected to the
commutator. The above diagram shows a common motor layout -- with the rotor
inside the stator (field) magnets.
The geometry of the brushes, commutator contacts, and rotor windings are
such that when power is applied, the polarities of the energized winding and the stator
magnet(s) are misaligned, and the rotor will rotate until it is almost aligned with the
stator's field magnets. As the rotor reaches alignment, the brushes move to the next
25
commutator contacts, and energize the next winding. Given our example two-pole
motor, the rotation reverses the direction of current through the rotor winding, leading
to a "flip" of the rotor's magnetic field, and driving it to continue rotating.
In real life, though, DC motors will always have more than two poles
(three is a very common number). In particular, this avoids "dead spots" in the
commutator. You can imagine how with our example two-pole motor, if the rotor is
exactly at the middle of its rotation (perfectly aligned with the field magnets), it will
get "stuck" there. Meanwhile, with a two-pole motor, there is a moment where the
commutator shorts out the power supply (i.e., both brushes touch both commutator
contacts simultaneously). This would be bad for the power supply, waste energy, and
damage motor components as well. Yet another disadvantage of such a simple motor
is that it would exhibit a high amount of torque” ripple" (the amount of torque it could
produce is cyclic with the position of the rotor).
So since most small DC motors are of a three-pole design, let's tinker with
the workings of one via an interactive animation (JavaScript required):
You'll notice a few things from this -- namely, one pole is fully energized
at a time (but two others are "partially" energized). As each brush transitions from one
commutator contact to the next, one coil's field will rapidly collapse, as the next coil's
field will rapidly charge up (this occurs within a few microsecond). We'll see more
26
about the effects of this later, but in the meantime you can see that this is a direct
result of the coil windings' series wiring:
There's probably no better way to see how an average dc motor is put together,
than by just opening one up. Unfortunately this is tedious work, as well as requiring
the destruction of a perfectly good motor. This is a basic 3-pole dc motor, with 2
brushes and three commutator contacts.
Land mine sensor or proximity sensor:
A proximity sensor detects an object when the object

approaches within the detection boundary of the sensor. Proximity sensors are used in
various facets of manufacturing for detecting the approach of metal objects. Various
types of proximity sensors are used for detecting the presence or absence of an object.
The design of a proximity sensor can be based on a number of principles of operation,
some examples include: variable reluctance, eddy current loss, saturated core, and
Hall Effect. Depending on the principle of operation, each type of sensor will have
different performance levels for sensing different types of objects. Common types of
non-contact proximity sensors include inductive proximity sensors, capacitive
proximity sensors, ultrasonic proximity sensors, and photoelectric sensors.
Hall-effect sensors detect a change in a polarity of a magnetic
field. Variable reluctance sensors typically include a U-type core and coils wound
around the core legs. Inductive proximity sensors have a lossy resonant circuit
(oscillator) at the input side whose loss resistance can be changed by the proximity of
an electrically conductive medium. An electrical capacitance proximity sensor
27
converts a variation in electrostatic capacitance between a detecting electrode and a

ground electrode caused by approaching the nearby object into a variation in an
oscillation frequency, transforms or linearizes the oscillation frequency into a direct
current voltage, and compares the direct current voltage with a predetermined
threshold value to detect the nearby object.
Ultrasonic sensing systems provide a much more efficient and effective

method of longer range detection. These sensors require the use of a transducer to
produce ultrasonic signals. Eddy-current proximity sensors are well known and
operate on the principle that the impedance of an ac-excited electrical coil is subject to
change as the coil is brought in close proximity to a metallic object.
Proximity sensors often are employed in manufacturing industries in which the

sensors are exposed to harsh environmental conditions. Inductive proximity sensors
are used in automation engineering to define operating states in automating plants,
production systems and process engineering plants. Magnetic proximity detectors are
commonly used on ski lifts and tramways for detecting a drop condition of the steel
cable used as a haul line or haul rope.
Proximity sensors are widely used in the automotive industry to automate the
control of power accessories. For instance, proximity sensors are often used in power
window controllers to detect the presence of obstructions in the window frame when
the windowpane is being directed to the closed position.
CIRCUIT DESCRIPTION:
28
In the project, our aim is to detect the land mines. So, to detect the land mines in the
path, we insert the land mine sensor. Land mine sensor will detect the electromagnetic
signals evolving from land mine. If it finds the land mine, it gives high pulse to
microcontroller. Microcontroller will understand that land mine is present at that place
and gives the high signal to buzzer in order to alert humans by sounding it.
Motors in the circuit are useful for the moment and directions of the robot., it
moves right by making left side motor off and running right side motor and vice
versa. This moment is to be programmed.

SOFTWARE
µVision3
µVision3 is an IDE (Integrated Development Environment) that helps you write,

compile, and debug embedded programs. It encapsulates the following components:
• A project manager.
• A make facility.
• Tool configuration.
• Editor.
• A powerful debugger.
To help you get started, several example programs (located in the \C51\Examples,
\C251\Examples, \C166\Examples, and \ARM\...\Examples) are provided.
 HELLO is a simple program that prints the string "Hello World" using the
Serial Interface.
Building an Application in µVision2
To build (compile, assemble, and link) an application in µVision2, you must:

1. Select Project - (for example, 166\EXAMPLES\HELLO\HELLO.UV2).
2. Select Project - Rebuild all target files or Build target.
µVision2 compiles, assembles, and links the files in your project.
Creating Your Own Application in µVision2
To create a new project in µVision2, you must:

1. Select Project - New Project.
2. Select a directory and enter the name of the project file.
32
3. Select Project - Select Device and select an 8051, 251, or C16x/ST10 device
from the Device Database™.
4. Create source files to add to the project.
5. Select Project - Targets, Groups, Files, Add/Files, select Source Group1, and
add the source files to the project.
6. Select Project - Options and set the tool options. Note when you select the
target device from the Device Database™ all special options are set
automatically. You typically only need to configure the memory map of your
target hardware. Default memory model settings are optimal for most
applications.
7. Select Project - Rebuild all target files or Build target.
Debugging an Application in µVision2
To debug an application created using µVision2, you must:

1. Select Debug - Start/Stop Debug Session.
2. Use the Step toolbar buttons to single-step through your program. You may
enter G, main in the Output Window to execute to the main C function.
3. Open the Serial Window using the Serial #1 button on the toolbar.
Debug your program using standard options like Step, Go, Break, and so on.
Starting µVision2 and creating a Project
µVision2 is a standard Windows application and started by clicking on the
program icon. To create a new project file select from the µVision2 menu
Project – New Project…. This opens a standard Windows dialog that asks you for the
new project file name.
We suggest that you use a separate folder for each project. You can simply use
the icon Create New Folder in this dialog to get a new empty folder. Then select this
folder and enter the file name for the new project, i.e. Project1.
µVision2 creates a new project file with the name PROJECT1.UV2 which
contains a default target and file group name. You can see these names in the Project
Window – Files.
Now use from the menu Project – Select Device for Target and select a CPU
for your project. The Select Device dialog box shows the µVision2 device database.
Just select the microcontroller you use. We are using for our examples the Philips
33
80C51RD+ CPU. This selection sets necessary tool options for the 80C51RD+ device
and simplifies in this way the tool Configuration
Building Projects and Creating a HEX Files

Typical, the tool settings under Options – Target are all you need to start a
new application. You may translate all source files and line the application with a
click on the Build Target toolbar icon. When you build an application with syntax
errors, µVision2 will display errors and warning messages in the Output
Window – Build page. A double click on a message line opens the source file on the
correct location in a µVision2 editor window.
Once you have successfully generated your application you can start debugging.
After you have tested your application, it is required to create an Intel HEX
file to download the software into an EPROM programmer or simulator. µVision2
creates HEX files with each build process when Create HEX files under Options for
Target – Output is enabled. You may start your PROM programming utility after the
make process when you specify the program under the option Run User Program #1.
CPU Simulation
µVision2 simulates up to 16 Mbytes of memory from which areas can be
mapped for read, write, or code execution access. The µVision2 simulator traps and
reports illegal memory accesses being done.
In addition to memory mapping, the simulator also provides support for the integrated
peripherals of the various 8051 derivatives. The on-chip peripherals of the CPU you
have selected are configured from the Device
Database selection
You have made when you create your project target. Refer to page 58 for more
Information about selecting a device. You may select and display the on-chip
peripheral components using the Debug menu. You can also change the aspects of
each peripheral using the controls in the dialog boxes.
Start Debugging
You start the debug mode of µVision2 with the Debug – Start/Stop Debug
Session command. Depending on the Options for Target – Debug Configuration,
34
µVision2 will load the application program and run the startup code µVision2 saves
the editor screen layout and restores the screen layout of the last debug session. If the
program execution stops, µVision2 opens an editor window with the source text or
shows CPU instructions in the disassembly window. The next executable statement is
marked with a yellow arrow. During debugging, most editor features are still
available.
For example, you can use the find command or correct program errors.
Program source text of your application is shown in the same windows. The µVision2
debug mode differs from the edit mode in the following aspects:
_ The “Debug Menu and Debug Commands” described on page 28 are Available. The
additional debug windows are discussed in the following.
_ The project structure or tool parameters cannot be modified. All build Commands
are disabled.
Disassembly Window
The Disassembly window shows your target program as mixed source and
assembly program or just assembly code. A trace history of previously executed
instructions may be displayed with Debug – View Trace Records. To enable the trace
history, set Debug – Enable/Disable Trace Recording.
If you select the Disassembly Window as the active window all program step
commands work on CPU instruction level rather than program source lines. You can
select a text line and set or modify code breakpoints using toolbar buttons or the
context menu commands.
You may use the dialog Debug – Inline Assembly… to modify the CPU
instructions. That allows you to correct mistakes or to make temporary changes to the
target program you are debugging.
