Go it running in debug mode in vscode with such config

{
				"name": "Debug test",
				"type": "cppdbg",
				"request": "launch",
				"program": "${workspaceFolder:axi-v7}/twister-out/native_sim_native/host/lib/temp/lib.temp/zephyr/zephyr.exe",
				"cwd": "${workspaceFolder:axi-v7}/tests/lib/temp",

So I was able to compile, but I would like to have the debugging session running in vscode (like debugging on a MCU) rather than a CLI.

Is there a way to do this ?

Thanks by advance.

Hi,

This might depend on the platform you use. For native_sim it is like a normal west application
west build -b native_sim -p -- -DCONFIG_DEBUG_OPTIMIZATIONS=y
west debug
