## Main page

The options shown in the Main page differ based upon the type of launch configuration. Generally, the options fall into these choices:

- Emulation Main page (Emulation)
- Run-mode Main page (Application CODA)
- Stop-Mode Main page (System CODA)

### Emulation Main page

The Symbian OS Emulation launch configuration uses the Main page to define the process to be launched by the emulator.

The behavior that occurs when launching a debug session varies based upon the SDK. Normally, starting a debug session launches the emulator (epoc.exe) and you must then navigate to your application and open it. However, starting a debug session for an .exe file will, in most cases, launch the .exe directly. This starts the emulator and then opens your application automatically. Note that some SDKs do not support this behavior. In those cases you must still open your application in the emulator manually.

##### Table 1. Emulator Main page —items

Item | Explanation
--- | ---
Project | The project to associate with this debug launch configuration. Click Browse to select a different project.
Process to launch | The path to the emulator or executable to launch. For Symbian OS 9.1 the emulator path is required. For Symbian OS 9.2 and later the path to the executable should be used. Click Browse to select a different emulator.
Build Configuration | Use the Build Configuration drop down list to select which configuration to build before launching the resulting executable.
Build (if required) before launching | Controls how auto build is configured for the launch configuration. Changing this setting overrides the global workspace setting and can provide some speed improvements. The options include: Disable auto build – Disables auto build for the launch configuration which may improve launch performance. Enable auto build – Enables auto build for the launch configuration which can slow down launch performance. Use workspace settings (default) – Uses the global auto build settings. Configure Workspace Settings... – Opens the Launching preference panel where you can change the workspace settings.

### Run-mode Main page

The Symbian OS Application CODA launch configuration uses the Main page to defines the project and the process to launch on the target device.

Figure 2 - Main page (Application CODA shown)

##### Table 2. Run-mode Main page —items

Item | Explanation
--- | ---
Project | The project to associate with this launch configuration. Click Browse to select a different project.
Remote process to launch | The absolute path of the remote executable to launch on the target device. The binary to debug may be stored on one of several memory locations, the most common are: RAM (default) — programs running in RAM are launched from c:\sys\bin\ ROM — programs running in ROM are launched from z:\sys\bin\ Memory cards — programs running on a memory card are launched from e:\sys\bin\ In the event a program is not launching, verify that the path is correct for the memory location where the binary resides.
Use connection | Choose the remote connection type to associate with this launch configuration. Click New to add a new connection, or Edit to modify the current one.
Build Configuration | See Emulation Main page above.
Build (if required) before launching | See Emulation Main page above.

### Stop-mode Main page

The Symbian OS System CODA launch configurations uses the Main page to defines the project and the executable to launch on the target device.

Item | Explanation

Project | The project to associate with this debug launch configuration. Click Browse to select a different project.
Executable | This is the name of the executable that is linked to the project. Click Browse to select a different executable.
Use connection | See Run-mode Main page above.
Build Configuration | See Emulation Main page above.
Build (if required) before launching | See Emulation Main page above.
