Is it possible to run / debug without re-flashing?

I have loaded an image into my KL27Z via the bootloader (not via JTAG / J-Link). I'd like to run & step the program using the debugger, but explicitly don't want to re-flash the image[*]. Is this possible with KDS_v3?

[*] The image I'm running is identical to the built image with the exception of the Bootloader Configuration Area, and I don't want to overwrite that.

Hi Robert,

Yes, see Attaching to a Running Target with Segger J-Link, GDB and Eclipse | MCU on Eclipse

It depends to some extend to the debug interface used. But basically disable download to flash and specify the symbol/debug file only.

I hope this helps,

Erich
