RE: debug configuration on eclipse to run softdevice + application + bootloader?

Hi,

You need to generate and program a valid bootloader settings page to make the bootloader boot the application on startup, otherwise it will stay in DFU mode. This can be automated by modifying your Makefile. I have done this with Segger embedded studio, see my answer to this thread: https://devzone.nordicsemi.com/f/nordic-q-a/37507/buttonless-dfu-debugging-problem

You also need to load the symbols file for the bootloader if you want to debug the bootloader and application at the same time.
