 		 #150798 - What do you mean?

Ap Charles said:
You even cannot debug at source level if you download a .Hex file

What do you mean by that?

"downloading" a Hex file usually refers to sending the file to the microcontroller.
The Hex file itself doesn't contain any source debug information - but this is retained on the development system.
Therefore, provided you have both the source files and the debug information, you most certainly can debug after downloading a Hex file to the target.

But his thread is about a guy who doesn't have the source code - so he obviously can't debug at source level anyhow!

He's trying to upload the hex file from microcontroller.
