How to debug bootloader and application codes together in MCUXpresso

Hello,

Some time ago, it was posted a tutorial about how to debug bootloader and application code together in KDS.Debugging Bootloader and Application using Kinetis Design Studio.  I have tried to follow the its steps, using .axf file, instead of .elf file, but it didn't work.

Could anybody tell me how to do it in MCUXpresso?

Thanks and best regards,

Hi Marco,

Which debug connection are you using? I have done a quick test using the Jlink connection and I'm able to debug both  projects by adding this command to the debug Run Commands:

add-symbol-file C:\\Users\\b38285\\Documents\\MCUXpressoIDE_10.0.0_344\\workspace\\MK64FN1M0xxx12_Project_2\\Debug\\MK64FN1M0xxx12_Project_2.axf 0x80000

The address 0x80000 corresponds to the first flash section of the second project which was previously flashed to the MCU:

Hope it helps!

Well, that's embarrassing, Carlos!

I simply inserted the wrong application's path in Debug Configurations! I can't believe I committed such a mistake.

Sorry for bothering you with that.
