Debugging with Monitor Mode on NCS

[Martin Weinberg]

Hi,

while using the SoftDevice with MPSL on NCS/Zephyr (nRF52840), there will be a HardFault triggered without using Monitor Mode when a breakpoint is hit.

I understand, why this is happening and already searched for enabling Monitor Mode with Zephyr/NCS but only found the following old answer which claims that it is not possible to use Monitor Mode with NCS:

https://devzone.nordicsemi.com/f/nordic-q-a/70769/problem-using-monitor-mode-debugging-with-the-nrf-connect-sdk

Now i searched a little bit more and found this post which is not anwered until now so i wanted to ask if there is a guide on how to enable monitor mode while using NCS?

Thank you for your help and with kind regards,

Martin

We don't have a guide for that yet, but i'll ask if we can make one. It will probably take a while.

Hi, I was wondering if a guide has been made for this?

Thanks.

Not that I'm aware of.

Hi,

We have added instructions in the documentation on how to enable Segger Monitor Mode debugging in nRF Connect SDK: https://developer.nordicsemi.com/nRF_Connect_SDK/doc/latest/nrf/test_and_optimize/testing.html#enabling-non-halting-debugging-with-cortex-m-debug-monitor

Best regards,

HI,

That's great, thank you.  

Is there a minimum nRF Connect version?

Thanks

Support was added in nRF Connect SDK v2.4.0.

Is there an updated link for this. This page just redirects to the generic instructions.
