Before you begin to debug your project, make sure your project has built properly and you can see the target objects in the Project Navigator. You may need to refresh your view of the file system by right-clicking on the directory you are using for your objects and selecting "Refresh".
To debug your application, you must first establish a connection to the target system. This is done in Workbench via the "Target Manager" interface in the lower left hand corner of the display. If your target is not already visible in Workbench, you must click on the "New Connection" icon in the Target Manager toolbar and configure an appropriate target connection.
Next, hit the connect icon in the Target Manager toolbar to establish a connection to your newly configured target.
After these steps, you should see something like the following:

Here the application sdc has been built and the object, in this case built as a kernel task, is highlighted in the Project Manager. Below, in the Target Manager, a connection has been established to "tgt_indus", a PowerPC board running a VxWorks 6.4 kernel.
