Hello,

we have a GUI project running on STM32. Graphics is save in external Flash.

Now , every time I rebuild the project, flasher for external flash compares the content

and in our case this takes 8mins...

Can we somehow manually control this option and iuse it only ,when somethiing in GUI part of the code changes ?

Thanks in advance,

regards.

you can uncheck the verify flash in the debug configuration

that should help quite a bit!0693W000000WOFTQA4.png

Hello,

thanks for response... It doesn't seem to helpo much, because there is external flasher first Comparing content...

And this is by far the most time consuming part of flashing.

I'm basically after how to limit this external (QSPI) flash loader on each debug iteration...

Regards.

you can try to disable the loader (checkmark a bit further down). then you would skip that step altogether - you just need to load the flash at some point.
