Sometimes I only want to download a binary (.s19, .hex, .elf) without the need for the project and sources of it.
With the command line version of GDB you can do this, but there is as well a way in KDS to do this more interactively: Flash to File...
From the Run menu, select 'Flash from file...':
Then configure your connection (see KDS Debug Configurations (OpenOCD, P&E, Segger)).
Beside of the settings in the Debugger Tab (which depends on the used debug interface (P&E, Segger, OpenOCD, see note1 below), you need to specify in the 'Main' tab two things:
- The name of the binary (e.g. elf file)
- A project name (see note2 below)
Note1:
there is a current issue in KDS v1.0.1beta that P&E is not listed as Debugging Connection. This is expected to be fixed in KDS V1.1 (GA).
Note2:
While the project is not really necessary, there is the issue in KDS v1.0.1beta that without a project name, you will get an error. So if you start with a new/empty workspace, you need to create a 'dummy' project first and to provide this as a project name.
Happy Flashing :-)
