how to release a kinetis project

Premjee — Fri, 07 Nov 2014 23:46:38 GMT

Hello, I am using cw10.4, built a project with k12dx256vlh5, now at the end of the project and the release option as to debug is not available, has that been discontinued or I have to do something else to go into the release version. This is supposed to free up the Jtag debug port. I do not use the debug port for other functions. interested in knowing about release.

Thanks,

jeevan

Hello Jeevan.

Let's see Debug and Release in the Desktop World:

In the Desktop World, ‘Debug’ and ‘Release’ builds have following typical meaning:

Debug builds have debugging and symbolic information included. The compiler is not optimizing to make debugging ‘easier’.
Release builds have the debugging and symbolic information (Dwarf in ELF/Dwarf files) stripped off. Optimizations are enabled for best performance or code density.

By default, debug and release mode is the same in CW10. in a MQX project, the difference between debug mode and release mode is optimization level setting.

In debug mode: optimization level is 1.

In release mode: optimization level is 4.
