You can selectively build a few executable (.exe) files for debugging purposes in a Release configuration of your OS design. In this way, you can work with an image that is significantly smaller than a full Debug configuration.
For more information about the configurations that you can use, see Levels of Debugging Support.
To combine debug and release bits
Build the Release and Debug configurations of your OS design.
From the Build menu, choose Configuration Manager.
From the Active Solution Configuration drop-down list, select the Debug configuration and then choose Close.
From the Build menu, choose Open Release Directory in Build Window.
At the command prompt, copy the .exe files you want to debug into the release directory for the Release configuration.
From the Build menu, choose Configuration Manager.
From the Active Solution Configuration drop-down list, select the Release configuration and then choose Close.
From the Build menu, to build a run-time image that includes the copied .exe files, choose Global Build Settings, and make sure that Copy Files to Release Directory After Build is not selected.
