Monitor Mode - Debugging BLE application on nRF52840 DK

[len_]

I am trying to debug a BLE application on the nRF52840 DK. From what I understand, this must be done in monitor mode.

I have followed these steps:

1) added these lines to prf.conf:

CONFIG_DEBUG_OPTIMIZATIONS=y

CONFIG_DEBUG_THREAD_INFO=y

CONFIG_CORTEX_M_DEBUG_MONITOR_HOOK=y

CONFIG_SEGGER_DEBUGMON=y

2) changed build configuration optimisation level to "-Og".

3) initiated Debug session from nRF Connect for VS Code extension.

4) Entered command "-exec monitor exec SetMonModeDebug=1" into Debug Console.

5) Pressed "continue", let code run.

6) Connected to DK using nRF Connect for iOS. This is succesful.

7) Paused code execution. DK immediately disconnects.

Is there a way to ensure the DK remains connected during debugging? I am trying to debug a problem that occurs during notification.

Have you followed the exercise instructions given here in Devacademy. We recently had some efforts taken to make sure that things work with latest nRF connect SDK release.
