7.7.4. Loading and Unloading GEL Files

Startup GEL files defined in the target configuration file will be automatically loaded when a debug session is started.

Additional GEL files can be loaded in the Debug Session using the GEL Files dialog accessible via the menu View → GEL Files. This will open the GEL Files view. From this view, users can see all loaded GEL files for that debug session and have the option to Open them in the editor, Reload the selected GEL file, Remove (unload) the selected GEL file, or Remove All loaded GEL files.

The toolbar in the upper right corner contains several options:

  • Load GEL: Load a GEL File.
  • Remove Selected: Unload the selected GEL file.
  • Remove: Unload all GEL files.

The view will also show if the GEL file was loaded successfully. Under the Status column, Success indicates that the GEL file was loaded successfully while Failed indicated that the GEL file was not loaded successfully due to some error with the GEL file. Any error messages from the failed load will be output to the Debug Output view:

Right-click in the view and select Load GEL to load a GEL file:
