How to debug client OTA upgrade application, ZigBee?

Question

What is the right way to use the debug possibilities of Segger Embedded Studio (or another allowed IDE) in case of the client Zigbee OTA upgrade application example? For now, I am using the NRF_LOG_INFO macros messages through the RTT Viewer. But is it possible to debug the client application “in a full manner”, I mean using the breakpoints, step into/over, etc.?
If yes, could you please advise me, how can I reach it?

Hi. 
 I have not been able to debug in SES yet, but I have been able to set up a debugging session in Ozone . 
 I ran the following script from the ota folder: 
 make -j -C bootloader_debug\pca10056\blank\armgcc
make -j -C client\pca10056\blank\armgcc

nrfutil settings generate --family NRF52840 --application client\pca10056\blank\armgcc\_build
rf52840_xxaa.hex --application-version 0x01010101 --bootloader-version 1 --bl-settings-version 2 --app-boot-validation VALIDATE_ECDSA_P256_SHA256 --key-file priv.pem settings.hex 

mergehex -m client\pca10056\blank\armgcc\_build
rf52840_xxaa.hex settings.hex -o dfu_client.hex 

nrfjprog -f nrf52 -e
nrfjprog -f nrf52 --program mbr_nrf52_2.4.1_mbr.hex --chiperase
nrfjprog -f nrf52 --program bootloader\pca10056\blank\armgcc\_build
rf52840_xxaa_mbr.hex
nrfjprog -f nrf52 -r --program dfu_client.hex --sectorerase --snr 683357357 
nrfjprog -r
 
 Then I opened Ozone and selected the .out file in the client folder (client\pca10056\blank\armgcc\_build
rf52840_xxaa.out) 
 Instead of downloading the file I selected "Attach to Running Program" 
 
 And I was able to step through the code. 
 Hope this helps you. 
 Best regards, 
 Andreas
