RE: NCS: How to fix broken debug built?

Hi Håkon,

Thank you very much for the quick reply! Unfortunately I've missed the libncurses5 dependency. Debugging is working well now - when pushing the "Debug" button at the nRF Connect for VS Code sidebar.

Might be a good idea mentioning libncurses5 at: https://developer.nordicsemi.com/nRF_Connect_SDK/doc/latest/zephyr/getting_started/installation_linux.html#installation-linux Can you please forward this to your colleague who's maintaining the Linux installation guide?

Hitting F5 (or selecting Run->Start Debugging at the menu) still causes the compiler to complain that it can't find the include files, but that's ok, since it's working from the plugin.

Again, thanks for your help,
Michael.

Hi BlueMike,

I found this comment:

"For nRF Connect SDK 1.7.0 on Ubuntu you need to install the libcurses5 package to get debugging to work. This can be done by running

sudo apt install libncurses5

In addition CMake needs to be updated to > 3.20 according to the 1.7.0 getting started documentation".

Best regards,

Håkon
