Start with debug vs flash

[ceciliac]

Hi, I have a somewhat rudimentary question....is there any difference in what is flashed  depending on if I use the "Debug Configuration" och "Flash from file". Is there additional content flashed for the debugging to work?

Thanks,

Cecilia

Hi, 

The way how you upload your program into Flash has no effect on debug ability. The question is - if your output .elf file contain debug info (-g option) or not. 

The additional content is added by your debugger - PE Micro or any other. With flashing from file you need o attach to running target. With debug configuration is started debug session.
