6.2.1 Manually Loading the ELF file in the Standalone Data Visualizer

If using the standalone data visualizer:

  1. In MPLAB X IDE, ensure a project is open and set up as per 6.1 Adding DVRT Support to a Project.
  2. Click to open the DVRT pane.
  3. Click Load Debug Symbols to find and load the project ELF file.
  4. If you decide to load a different ELF file, click on
    .

When the ELF is loaded this way, then the ELF path will be monitored for changes. On rebuild, the data visualizer will give the option to reload it. When the ELF is programmed into the target, then symbols will be reloaded and a message displayed when complete.

Note: MPLAB generates different files for production and debug use cases. These files that are located under the dist/production or dist/debug folders, respectively. Care must be taken so that the ELF file that is loaded into the data visualizer matches the use case.
