By default, Eclipse provides ‘stop-mode-debugging’: in order to inspect the target code and data, I have to stop the target. But with the right extensions as present in the Eclipse based MCUXpresso IDE, it is possible to inspect the target even while it is running.

MCUXpresso IDE 10.2.1
NXP has just released the 10.2.1 update of their flagship Eclipse based IDE. While the number increase from 10.2.0 to 10.2.1 indicates a minor release, there are a several things which make me move over to that new release.
Adding a Rocktech Capacitive Touch LCD to the NXP i.MX RT1052 EVK
It is never too early to start thinking about Halloween projects :-).
When I ordered originally the MIMXRT1050-EVK from Mouser, it was without the LCD display (see “MCUXpresso IDE V10.1.0 with i.MX RT1052 Crossover Processor“.

Finally I have spent a few hours at night and I proudly can say: the display is working 🙂
MCUXpresso IDE: Terminate and Disconnect a Debug Session
Eclipse for C/C++ (CDT) offers two different ways to get out of a debug session: Terminate and Disconnect:
The terminate and disconnect behaviour is not standardized, and varies between Eclipse distributions and debug connection. This article is about how things are handled in MCUXpresso IDE, and how I can influence the behaviour.
Using Eclipse to Program Binary Files to an Embedded Target
I’m using Eclipse based IDE’s to develop and debug my embedded applications. This works great, as Eclipse has all the necessary tools to edit, build and debug it. But when it comes just to download/flash a binary to the board, then things are pretty much specific to the tools used. With the advent of the new MCUXpresso IDE, here is how that Eclipse IDE can be used for this.
