Debugging in KDS

santoshsingh — Sat, 19 Sep 2015 12:37:10 GMT

Hi,

When we are debugging any application in FRDM board, it is written to flash. If we want to load it to RAM instead for testing purposes and to save R/W cycles of flash, how can we do this in KDS?

Hi Santhosh,

Here is how I do it: RAM Target with Kinetis Design Studio and FRDM-K64F

I hope this helps,

Erich

HI Erich,

Are there any options available other than using processor expert?

Hi Santosh,

you don't have to use Processor Expert, it is just shown in the example because Processor Expert makes it very easy. You can do the same linker file manipulation by hand too, of course.

I hope this helps,

Erich

Thanks Erich. Can you please tell me how to manipulate linker file to do the same?

Hi Santosh,

have a read in RAM Target with Kinetis Design Studio and FRDM-K64F which contains that linker file part. You need to check your particular linker file, but the settings should be easy to spot.

I hope this helps,

Erich

Hi Erich,

Can you please tell me where is the linker file located exactly?

Hi Santosh,

look for a file with an .ld extension. It is usually in Project_Settings/Linker_Files.

I hope this helps,

Erich
