How do I debug without re-writing BOARD_FLASH?

[owen_phelan]

Hi there,

I have an application that uses around 50mb of flash storage on my iMXRT-1050EVKB. I want to debug certain parts of the application, but every time I want to test my code, it attempts to rewrite the ~50mb of data that should already be on the device. This process takes about 25-30 minutes, which is far too long to test minor changes. Is there a way to debug without rewriting the flash storage, as this never changes between builds?

Thanks,

Owen

Hi Owen,

Yes, MCUXpresso can debug without program. Please select "verify only" in Debug Configurations.
