Is it possible to debug the target multiple times with the same binary application, without flashing the device?

Yes, you can debug the target multiple times with the same application.

  1. Flash the target once with either using a target task (standalone) or using Flash Programmer > Flash File to Target .
  2. Select Run > Debug Configurations .

    The Debug Configurations dialog box appears.

  3. Select Debugger > Download .

    The Download page appears in the Debug Configuration dialog box.

  4. Clear the Perform Standard Download and Execute Tasks checkboxes.

    Now as the debugger does not need to flash a potentially large application, you can start debugging within a few seconds, and you can do this multiple times.

  5. To flash the target, click the Flash Programmer button followed by the Debug button on the CodeWarrior IDE toolbar.
