How to upload firmware without starting the debugger?

laszlomonda — Mon, 22 Feb 2016 15:45:39 GMT

Hi guys,

Most of the time I simply want to upload the firmware without starting the debugger. How can I do it?

Ultimately, I'd like to be able to press a shortcut which would rebuild the firmware and upload it without starting the debugger.

Thanks in advance!

Hi Laci,

I am assuming you have KDS.

You can implement a command line version (guessing you could make a script to run it):

Command Line Programming and Debugging with GDB | MCU on Eclipse

Or using a Freedom board to drag-n-drop image to be flash to target device:

Using the Freedom Board as SWD Programmer | MCU on Eclipse

Hopefully others provide additional methods for you.

Regards,

David

Thanks David! I've read the referenced articles and learned quite a bit. This would work very well from the command line.

I'm still waiting for a solution specifically for KDS. :smileyhappy:

Cheers!
