Frequently Asked Questions
36) The putchar()/getchar() breakpoints are set only if these functions

putchar()/getchar() could be indirectly referenced by a library function).
37) The Flash program/download progress bar does not update
gradually. This behavior is to be expected. The progress bar updates
whenever a “chunk” of memory is written to Flash. The development
tools attempt to minimize the number of program chunks in order to
maximize programming efficiency. Consequently, it’s possible for, say,
a 60K byte program to be reduced to a single chunk, and the progress
bar will not be updated until the entire write operation is complete.
