All,

My question is related to IAR Embedded WorkBench IDE 6.50 for STM32L. I think somebody using the IDE can help me to solve the issue or else can direct me to a better place in which I can find Support regarding the issue.

In the IDE there is an option called ''Debug without downloading''.

Can some body explain me the use of this feature?

Does this allow debugging the firmware without using the hardware target system?

I have gone through the help manuals provided with the IDE, but was unable to find a clear idea about the feature and its usage.

Thanks.

Anuradha.

I'm not on IAR, but this sounds more like dont download hex from uC, but just debug it assuming the right code is on uC.

Usually it does FLASH + DEBUG steps, you can do the FLASH/PROGRAM step separately, and just DEBUG the code directly. For example code that is in ROM, OTP, or EPROM that has to be programmed outside the IDE with different equipment.

Hello,

Yes crt your are correct.

The EWARM Debugging guide states that as follows.

Debug without download: To start C-SPY without reloading the current project

Download and Debug: To start C-SPY and load the current project
