Start Xtensa Debugger Daemon

To debug DSP applications on RT700, 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 14.11.

Execute the daemon with the custom topology.

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