The ctr_loadrun tool is used to run specified programs in a debugger (such as PARTNER-CTR). It can be used to run programs from the command line without requiring any debugger operations.
ctr_loadrun.
ctr_loadrun are started for a single debugger, they cannot be used at the same time.ctr_loadrun cannot be used at the same time as Visual Studio Integration for CTR (VSI-CTR) for a single debugger.
ctr_loadrun can pass program arguments to CTR applications. This provides a way of changing how the CTR application acts, without adding any changes to the application.
The arguments that can be passed using the -a and -args options can be obtained from interfaces such as nn::dbg::CTR::GetArgc and nn::dbg::CTR::GetArgv. File data to be passed with the -ba option can be obtained from nn::dbg::CTR::GetArgBinary.
The buffer for passing program parameters to CTR applications is limited. Internally, it is limited to 4 KB, so the data that can be passed from ctr_loadrun must be smaller than that.
$ ctr_loadrun32.exe [CciFile] [options...]
| Options | Arguments | Description |
|---|---|---|
-h (--help) |
Displays help. | |
-l (--devicelist) |
Displays the connected devices. | |
-t (--timeout) |
TIMEOUT-SECONDS |
Sets the timeout from startup to exit. |
-e (--exit-pattern) |
EXIT-PATTERN |
Exits upon output of a string that matches the regular expression specified by EXIT-PATTERN.The regular expression syntax conforms with the .NET Framework's System.Text.RegularExpressions namespace.
|
-c (--command) |
COMMAND |
Specifies the command to run before loading the image file. |
-m (--macro) |
MACROFILE |
Specifies the macro file to run before loading the image file. |
-d (--device) |
SERIALNUMBER |
Specifies which device to use by its serial number. |
-nw (--no-wait) |
Exits loadrun when it is confirmed that all commands have been sent. |
|
-ns (--no-start) |
Normally the G command, which runs the program, is sent after the program has been loaded.With this option, the G command is not sent. |
|
-a (--argument) |
ARGUMENT-STRING | Sets one argument to be passed to the CTR application. Can be specified multiple times. |
-ba (--binary-argument) |
ARGUMENT-FILE | Sets a file to be passed as data to the CTR application. |
-args (--arguments) |
ARGUMENTS ... | Of the program arguments passed to loadrum, this option sets all subsequent parameters as those to be passed to the CTR application. |
--systray |
Hides the debugger in the system tray when the debugger launches. | |
--exit-debugger |
Exits the debugger when ctr_loadrun terminates, for example when the termination string pattern appears or when there is a timeout. |
$CTRSDK_ROOT/tools/ComandlineTools/ctr_loadrun32.exe
--systray option, and the normal behavior has been changed for the debugger to launch in a displayed window.ctr_loadrun32 terminates has been changed to the --exit-debugger option, and the normal behavior has been changed for the debugger to not recover.CONFIDENTIAL
