Introduction
This document shows step-by-step how to debug and flash the firmware with Eclipse IDE and Iosonata which was installed in the Installation guide “Eclipse IDE in firmware development with IOsonata”.
Debugging and Flashing Firmware with Eclipse IDE
Connect IDK-BLYST-NANO to your computer.
Debugging Firmware with OpenODC
We will start with Blinky Project as an example.
Select Blinky Project, Right-click select Debug Configuration
Double click on GDB OpenOCD Debugging
In the Main tab, at C/C++ Application click Search Project
Select Blinky. elf
In the Debugger tab, set Config options
-f “interface/cmsis-dap.cfg”
-f “target/nrf52.cfg”
Browse the OpenOCD executable file and ARM GDB executable file.
Click Debug
After you start the debugger, it will stop at main(). Now you can debug the firmware
by clicking the step button (F5, F6) to trace your source code line by line.
Flashing Firmware
Click the Run button to run the firmware on your device
Debugging and Flashing BleAdvertiser Firmware
BleAdvertiser requires NRF SDK softdevice components so we have to flash softdevice first. Use
IDAPnRFProg to flash NRF softdevice using IDAP-Link. Download here: IDAP-Link/M – Browse/Windows at SourceForge.net
Run IDAPnRFProg by following command line:
$.\IDAPnRFProg.exe D:\i_syst\external\nRF5_SDK\components\softdevice\s132\hex\s132_nrf52_7.2.0_softdevice.hex
After flashing Bluetooth Low Energy Module in IDK-BLYST-NANO with IDAPnRFProg, we can now debug and flash firmware BleAdvertiser on IDK-BLYST-NANO
