Using launch configurations

A launch configuration (or a debug configuration) is a collection of settings that describe how to launch a program. To run a program from S32 Design Studio for debugging or for execution, you actually run a launch configuration with the respective settings.

A project can have as many launch configurations as required. When you create an application project in S32 Design Studio, the wizard generates several launch configurations by default. Later on, you can create new launch configurations, delete the existing ones, and edit the configuration settings to better serve your needs.

The following topics describe how to manage launch configurations in S32 Design Studio:

Note: Launching in Eclipse is closely tied to the infrastructure of debugging, so you can often meet the term “debug configuration” as well, meaning that the launch configuration is going to be used to interactively debug an application. Another term “run configuration” can be met in the context of the Run command applied to an application.
