    Hi Benny,

    i think the main difference is for 1) you can't do debugging anymore, because the output format is not suitable for the C-SPY IAR debugger. I would recommend you to use the option 2), since then you can still do debugging with the "main output" which is C-SPY compatible.

    Hi ihend,

    Thanks for yuor answer.

    I have taken a test and found that IAR outputs  different  txts.file  with the same C code.

    So I want to know  which txt file I should trust on,and why?

    Hi Benny,

    i made a small test, and you are right, using the optino 2) it seems the code is a little bit bigger. Although i am not 100% sure about his, i think the difference is that in option 2), you have to basically choose the "Debug Information for C-SPY" under "Output" tab, and then click the "Allow C-SPY specific extra output file" check box. Therefore i think in option 2) the code will also include some IAR C-SPY specific debugging information and thus makes the code bigger.

    However i believe both option should work the same.
