Hi,

Our tools only support Segger debuggers. In general it is possible to use other SWD debuggers, but the configuration may be tricky. I am not sure how (of if) you can get this doen with Arduino Zero as a debugger.

Thank you for your response.

Can I use an Arduino Zero as external debug probe for building and programming the Thingy:91?

Hi,

In order to show up in VS Code, you need a debugger. A device with serial DFU (like the Thingy devices) will nto show up in VS Code, even it it can be programmed via USB DFU from nrfutil or the programmer app).
