Saving and Loading the CPU State
Saving and Loading the CPU State
State files are used to save the current CPU state (memory image, register
values, and program symbols) of a debug session. Though state files can only
be created from within a debugger/simulator session, you can use them to
restore a CPU state in either a debugger/simulator or debugger/emulator
session.
This section shows you how to:

To save the current CPU state
• Using the command line, enter:

file. If a file name is not specified, the default file name db68k.sav is used.
Examples

Debugger Execution Save_State session1
