Start Xtensa Debugger Daemon

To debug DSP applications on RT600, ensure that the xt-ocd daemon is running. This application runs a gdb server that the Xtensa core debugger connects to.

Go to the command-line window and change directory (cd) to xt-ocd daemon installation path. The default path on Windows is C:\Program Files (x86)\Tensilica\Xtensa OCD Daemon 14.08.

Execute the daemon with the custom topology.

**xt-ocd.exe -c topology.xml**

Warning: Warning: DAP Reset request failed! Ignoring...

Note: Some warning messages are expected and can be ignored. If you receive an error initializing the XDM driver, initialize and start the DSP core before debugging. For details on initializing and debugging, see Initialize DSP Core and Link DSP Profiles. For details on xt-ocd runtime options and configuration, see Chapter 7 of the Xtensa Debug Guide, available in Help > PDF Documentation.
