How to avoid MPSL assert when debugging and Thread/Bluetooth communication is under way

[rosc]

Since a long time I get MPSL asserts when debugging with an active BLE/Thread communication (e.g. in Matter). Those issues are appearently asserts because of strict timing.

I now experienced that debugging with the nrf-plugin for VSCode does not exhibit this problem.

Is there a option to get this also running without the VSCode-plugin? I prefer vanilla VSCode launch configurations. Or, if it is because of the used debugger type, would there be an option to release the nrfconnect debugger without installing the whole nrfconnect VSCode plugin?

Best regards,

Hi,

I don't see the same, for example if I run the zephyr beacon sample in debug and try to halt the CPU, the program will assert.

my bad, we ran several tests and basically got a setting wrong, which prevented starting of the BLE stack.
