Customize "Run" Button

Hi christibal,
thx for the answer. This could improve the usability. I will try it.
But any chance to use the play button for flashing? Maybe with custom variable "hacks"?

oBFusCATed:
I'll see what could be done about this, but it won't happen soon.
If you feel like it you could add a feature request in our tracker at the project page on sf.net.

BlueHazzard:
What are you using to flash the controller?
it would be possible to use the debug button to flash the controller, if you have a gdb supported debugger

oBFusCATed:
He is probably using avrdude...
How could a debugger help for flashing?
Using the jtag or similar interface?

I'm thinking that we could extend the host app field in a way to allow the execution of more commands than just the host app.
Unfortunately the host app is not executed for executable targets and for commands only target.
I guess we could extend this with a checkbox which controls if the host app is used or not, so the user could override it.

BlueHazzard:
With a debugger (hardware) you usually can also flash your device. Most gdb server for embedded debugging incorporate a load command that can be executed with gdb
for example you can add this lines in the Project->Properties->Debugger->Additional GDB commands->After connection
for Segger gdb server or OpenOCD gdb server:

--- Code: ---monitor reset
load

--- End code ---

This will load the firmware file into the flash
