To launch the debugger in the core mode, select \uicontrol Debug >
\uicontrol {Start Debugging} > \uicontrol {Load Core File}.
To launch the debugger in the core mode:
\list 1
\li Select \uicontrol Debug > \uicontrol {Start Debugging} >
\uicontrol {Load Core File}.

\li In the \uicontrol Kit field, select a build and run kit that was
used for building the binary for which the core file was created.
If the core file stems from a binary not built by \QC or a process
not initiated by \QC, select a kit that matches the setup used as
closely as possible, in respect to the specified device, tool chain,
debugger, and sysroot.
\li In the \uicontrol {Core file} field, specify the core file to
inspect.
\li In the \uicontrol {Executable of symbol file} field, specify
a file that contains debug information corresponding to the
core file. Typically, this is the executable file or a \c {.debug}
file if the debug information is stored separately from the
executable.
\li In the \uicontrol {Override start script} field, specify a
script file to run instead of the default start script.
\endlist
Also in this mode, using a properly configured project containing the
sources of the crashed program is not strictly necessary, but helpful.
