I am trying to integrate a code coverage tool into the testing workflow, to have a rough understanding of code coverage using manual tests.

I have a Renesas RL78 MCU and the Firmware compiled for it with IAR toolchain.

I want to flash a firmware prepared by IAR into a target, run tests for some time and then be able to halt the target and download the certain memory region (certain array with code coverage data) to host PC.

Is there a possibility to do that without using IAR C-SPY debugger?
