Attempted to debug the External RTC Sample. I think I set up and figured out the launch_json parameters successfully as I don’t get any error messages like the miDebuggerPath is invalid, etc., but maybe I didn’t get this all right.
Not sure what it is doing and why I can’t seem to debug the code with breakpoints? It seems to be running but not as expected. Below is my launch.json, and output from the TERMINAL and DEBUG CONSOLE. Please note I’m going to move on from this issue as it is not critical for me right now.
Here are my launch.json parameters which I had to change to get the debugger to work (but I don’t know if I did this correctly):
“name”: “(gdb) Launch”,
“type”: “cppdbg”,
“request”: “launch”,
“launchCompleteCommand”: “None”,
“program”: “${workspaceRoot}\build\zephyr\zephyr.elf”,
“args”: [],
“stopAtEntry”: false,
“cwd”: “${workspaceFolder}”,
“environment”: [],
“externalConsole”: false,
“MIMode”: “gdb”,
“miDebuggerPath”: “arm-none-eabi-gdb.exe”,
“setupCommands”: [
{
“description”: “Enable pretty-printing for gdb”,
“text”: “-enable-pretty-printing”,
“ignoreFailures”: true
}
]
OUTPUT shows nothing.
TERMINAL shows this:
