Debugging direct test mode on nrf53.

Just to have me guess. If I add a debug brk instruction early on in the network MCU, I might catch it once the application MCU starts the network MCU.

Just an FYI, I've gotten beyond this, by code/dts inspection.

Hi,

I should have explained a bit better. There is a known issue when trying to debug the network core in gdb due to the debugger not resetting the network core properly, so I suspect this is the reason you are not able to debug the DTM example.

A fix should be coming in a future release of the nrfjprog tool, but it's difficult for me to give you a time estimate. Please just look out for future updates.

Best regards,

Marjeris
