RE: nRF Academy Intermediate Course - Lesson 1 Exercise 1: Issue with Debugging

Hello Edvin,

I used the application name below the build folder (bottom red arrow) when I started the debugging session and I also do the same for flashing. Is there a difference between using one vs the other?

I right click the build folder, remove the build configuration and make another one. Sometimes if I just edit the build configuration it will keep telling me to do a pristine build even after doing a pristine build already. I don't know what's causing this so I just remove the build config and make a new one if I want to make changes.

For this exercise, I usually just press debug without flashing after making changes. Although at some point I did try flashing first before using the debugger but I didn't notice any difference.

Thank you

Hello,

I suspect that the behavior you are seeing is based on what you selected when you clicked "start debug session". Can you plaese let me know, right before you click "Debug", Did you use the build folder, or the application name below that?

Which one of the red arrows was selected?

And after you changed your build configuration, was the application built again? And was it flashed again?

Best regards,

Edvin
