IAR Embedded Workbench for RISC-V 3.40

Using flash loaders

In this section:

Setting up the flash loader(s)

To use a flash loader for downloading your application:

  1. Choose Project>Options.

  2. Choose the Debugger category and click the Download tab.

  3. Select the Use Flash loader(s) option. A default flash loader configured for the device you have specified will be used. The configuration is specified in a preconfigured board file.

  4. To override the default flash loader or to modify the behavior of the default flash loader to suit your board, select the Override default .board file option.

Aborting a flash loader

To abort a flash loader:

  1. Press Ctrl+Shift+. (period) for a short while.

  2. A message that says that the flash loader has aborted is displayed in the Debug Log window.

    This method can be used if you suspect that something is wrong with the execution, for example because it seems not to terminate in a reasonable time.
