Oops? To me it makes absolutely no difference if the code  is  runing
from  RAM  or  ROM.  Debugging  is exactly the same (OK, you might be
limited regarding thenumber of breakpoints when running from ROM, but
usually this is no real handicap).

Good for you. I always start with code running from flash, and it has
worked for me without problems for several different projects, too  -
so what? :-)

Best regards,
