MCUXpresso iMX Run Free mode

[variable_andrew]

In other NXP/Freescale processors - I remember being able to download code to the processor via the Eclipse based IDE - and then run free / detach. 

Currently this option ("Disconnect") appears to be grayed out in MCUXpresso Run dropdown when running. 

How would one try running their application and then disconnecting the debugger (and debugger cable) from the hardware while the app continues running?

Hi Andrew,

I assume you are using LinkServer as connection?

You can configure this in the launch/debug configuration:

See as well MCUXpresso IDE: Terminate and Disconnect a Debug Session | MCU on Eclipse

I hope this helps,

Thanks for the link, Erich. 
I am using the LinkServer as you said, and settings are already set to the necessary Disconnect Behavior - but the problem is that disconnect is grayed out when running, so this is what the debugger looks like while actively running:

As noted in the Terminate and Disconnect link you shared, the square red button I am able to press does this:

The expected behaviour is to stop the target under debug and disconnect

But the disconnect button is disabled. 

How might I enable the disconnect button so I can disconnect?

This is what the debugger settings look like for me:

Additionally - the behavior is the same for both hardware debug interfaces I've tested:

1. Connecting directly to the RT1015EVK's onboard USB-debugger

2. Connecting to the EVK's JTAG pins (J55) via an external LPC-Link2 board
