\section1 Using On-device Debugging Agents
CODA is a new on-device debugging agent that will eventually replace App TRK.
You can choose which debugging agent to use in the \gui {Run Settings} for
the project.
CODA offers the following benefits:
\list
\o Extended error information
\o Debugging over WLAN
\o Extended information about the device
\endlist
CODA differs from App TRK in the following ways:
\list
\o Coda does not support debugging over a Bluetooth connection.
\o Coda supports only Symbian^1 and Symbian^3 devices. It does not
support S60 3rd Edition devices.
\endlist
\section2 Installing Debugging Agents
You can download CODA from the
\l{http://tools.ext.nokia.com/coda/}{CODA download server}:
\list
\o Symbian^1 versions of CODA are located in the pf5250 folder.
\o Symbian^3 versions of CODA are located in the tb92 folder.
\endlist
The builds that are marked as \e delta builds work on top of App TRK, and
therefore, App TRK and CODA can co-exist on a device. Other than the delta
builds cannot be installed on a device where App TRK is installed.
The \QSDK installation program creates a shortcut for installing
App TRK on Symbian devices, but you can also download and install it
separately from the
