pgms ok but isn't stepping right (ICD3)? [solved]

[dj41354]

I have read somewhere that the first instruction must be a NOP when debugging.
The solution would be to debug the application without the boot loader.

hmm..
it's the bootloader that I'm trying to debug..

When I pgm it for "release".. and run it stand alone, it doesn't connect.
Seems like I should be able to step through the bootloader code & see if it kinda looks right...

Thanks for the reply.. I'm still working on this..
