Hi,

FlexRAM and NVM are partitioned and configured correctly. Emulated and backup eeprom are working fine. My issue is when I use the debugger to flash program, eeprom saved data are wiped. I used advanced options in debugger configuration without success.

How to keep internal eeprom data when using the debugger?

PS: I'm using PEMicro as debugger.

Hi, 

make sure that Emergency Kinetis Device Recovery is unchecked:

In my case - I can see data from last debug session after Flash Init or when FlexNVM is partitioned to EEEPROM by Pe Micro.

Hi Jiri,

Yes the Emergency Kinetis Device Recovery is always unchecked in my debugger configuration.

Every time when I make a change in my code, so the object file changes, the debugger will erase my preserved section eeprom. Even so, the log shows that the section is preserved, "Preserving data range $10000000-$1000FFFF before erase ... ".. But section is erased , eeprom data are wiped...

The only way that the debugger will keep data in eeprom is when the object file does not change, so flash is not reprogrammed at all...

I still canot figure out how to keep my data in eeprom when flash is being reprogrammed...

PS: EEPROM partitionning is not done from PE micro configuration. It is part of my initialization code...
