Setup

IceBro Lite connects to VICE over the remote monitor protocols. The setup is straightforward once VICE is configured to expose those interfaces.

Quick start

1. Start IceBro Lite and click the toolbar button to launch VICE, or connect to an already-running VICE instance.
2. On first launch, point the debugger at your VICE executable if it is not already known.
3. Load a program with the Load button. IceBro Lite will look for matching .dbg, .sym or .vs files automatically.

VICE configuration

In VICE, enable:

• Remote Monitor
• Binary Remote Monitor

These settings are typically enabled once and then persisted. If you want to re-enable the built-in VICE monitor later, turn the remote monitor options off again.

Layout files

The debugger stores its window layout and recent state in icebrolt.ini. Launching IceBro Lite from a project folder makes it easier to keep a project-specific layout and avoid mixing settings between projects.

Troubleshooting

• If the debugger cannot connect, make sure VICE is still running and the remote monitor options are on.
• If you start VICE from within IceBro Lite, it will use the configured executable path from the previous run or the one supplied on the command line.
