Doesn't seem to write Flash

Hi, I've uploaded the picorvd.uf2 file to the Pico, and wish to transfer an .elf file that was built with Mounriver Studio, it is an elf file that is known working.

Here is what I'm typing at the MINGW command prompt:

$ gdb-multiarch.exe -x C:/development/pico/picorvd/example/gdbinit -ex 'load' -ex 'detach' -ex 'quit' C:/development/CH32V_projects/test_proj/obj/test_proj.elf

This is the output:

Is the above correct? It appears to be correct, but when I try it, I find that the CH32V003 still is executing old code that it had in it.

Any help would be appreciated.

Hi, solved. I needed to press and release the reset button on the CH32V003 board, and then quickly execute the gdb-multiarch command line.
