3/26/2014

You can use this dialog box to capture a dump file when you are connected to a running device for debugging and the debugger is in a break state. To display this dialog box, go to Debug > Capture Dump File.

  • Capture mode
    Displays the three modes that you can choose when collecting data for later viewing. The mode determines the content that Platform Builder collects and saves in the dump file.

    • Context dump
      Captures the context record, the module and thread list, the call stack of the current thread, and the memory adjacent to the current thread.
    • System dump
      Captures all the processes and threads running at that moment, all the call stacks and context records for all threads, 2048 bytes of memory above and below the instruction pointer of the current thread, and the global variables for the current process.
    • Complete dump
      Captures all physical memory.
  • Close this dialog box when upload completes
    Select this option to close the dialog box when the upload is complete.
  • Capture
    Displays a Save as dialog box for you to specify the name and location of the dump file, and initiates the dump file capture. The Error Reporting subsystem captures the requested information and displays a progress indicator as the capture proceeds.
  • Cancel
    Stops the capture of a dump file that you initiated with the Capture button.
  • Close
    Closes the dialog box.
