1. Introduction
This document describes the use of CREATOR pro standard SDK to debug the program, the
standard SDK provides IAR project for the user reference.
About the CREATOR pro standard SDK,Can go to RAK official github download:

3. Debugging method
CREATOR pro supports two kinds of online debugging methods, one is to use CMSIS-DAP
way, the other is the common use of j-link debugging, Below to introduce two kinds of debugging
methods.
3.1 CMSIS-DAP
The CREATOR pro development board supports CMSIS-DAP debugger, DAP debugger. It
requires installing “ serial to USB driver ” at first. Serial to USB driver can be found
intools\serial_to_usb\mbedWinSerial_16466.
After installing the driver. Then Connect board to the PC with micro-USB cable.

3.2 J-Link(JTAG/SWD)
In the CREATOR pro development board, we set aside the JTAG standard interface, can be
used for developers to debug.
If the developer wants to use this JTAG interface, you need to connect to the corresponding
interface j-link, in our development board corresponding to the foot of the silk screen information.
Before using J-link debugging, you need to press the CREATOR pro development board
T/R button(Keep pressing), disable the DAP chip, because the DAP chip pin and JTAG pin
conflict, it must first disable the chip.
Build Environment Setup - IAR
Disable the DAP chip, and then through the micro USB to the CREATOR pro development
board power supply, power supply is successful, you can release the T/R button. and Press the
module reset button.
Then use the IAR tool to open the standard SDK project file. Set the debug mode to J-Link.

You can also set the download mode here to JTAG or SWD.
Finally you can debug the module online.
