I kind of remember reading somewhere about the limitation that you cannot run debug (icon is grayed out) when your system is configured with a for OTA programming.  Is that true?  (appears to be the case) and why the limitation?   Disabled the bootloadable and Debug still appears to be disabled.

Hi Jim,

   

The limitation exists because the chipset actually goes through a reset when switching between launcher/bootloader and application firmware images. It is not possible for the debugger to maintain a constant connection and follow the execution pointer; it's equivalent to pressing the hardware reset button during a debug session with a normal (non-bootloadable) project.

Check in Creator system view the debug option. Is it set to GPIO? Set to SWD.
