The Development Menu is the screen that is first displayed when the PARTNER-CTR Debugger or CTR test unit is turned on.
It is a substitute for the HOME Menu for CTR devices and has minimal functionality.
When the HOME Button is pressed while an application is running, that application is interrupted and this menu is displayed.
However, to return to the Development Menu, the application must handle a press of the HOME Button.
The following operations are possible on the Development Menu.
| Input | Feature |
|---|---|
| START | Start DevMenu. When there is an interrupted application, terminate that application then start DevMenu. |
| A | Launches an application from a CTR Card. With the PARTNER-CTR Debugger, the application loaded in the emulation memory is started. |
| B | Terminates an interrupted application, if there is one. |
| HOME | Returns to an interrupted application, if there is one. |
The Development Menu is a minimal implementation. Apart from its appearance, it has a number of restrictions that do not apply to the actual HOME Menu.
The sleep-related implementation differs from the HOME Menu and in some places does not account for critical timing. As a result, if the system enters Sleep Mode during an application transition (this includes closing the application and returning), it may not recover.
The wireless switch cannot be turned on and off by the Test Menu on its own because the NWM process and processes dependent on it have not started.
If an application is loaded and executed while the development menu is displayed, execution will tentatively stop at the start of the application. Therefore, this allows debugging from a closer point to startup than when starting an application from the HOME Menu and using ATTACH. If the POWER Button is pressed after starting an application from the development menu, it may stop execution at the Enable function.
Enable function.
