#148 Applications goes flat when debugger is not connected

[gerberto]

Hi,

I'm using the SEGGER J-Link debugger. It seems that my application doesn't start when the J-Link is not connected, also when selecting the "release" (instead of debug) configuration. I think it has something to do with Semihosting..

Steps to reproduce:
-Flash target with GDB SEGGER J-Link debugging configuration, and debug application
-Disconnect J-Link from target, en reset target by pressing the reset button on the PCB.
-Application doesn't restart or hangs..

How can the application start in case no debugger is connected?

The project is setup according to the attached picture.

Thanks.

Info:
-Eclipse Kepler SR2
-Segger J-Link

sure, semihosting calls are available only via the debugger.

if you recreate the project with the recent F4 template, the exception handler intercepts the semihosting code and returns, so it also works without the debugger.

OK, thanks. Ticket can be closed.
