VS Code debug is selecting the HEX file rather than the ELF

Hi,

The elf file is added as a symbol file, using the GDB command add-symbol-file, when debugging with the VS Code extension:

For some reason this part seems to be lacking in the picture you attached. Can you add "showDevDebugOutput": true, to the configuration in launch.json to get verbose logging and upload the output here?

Best regards,

Marte

For the avoidance of doubt the below is working when I don't use the nRF connect supplied debug.

{

"name": "Debug not NRF Connect",

"cwd": "${workspaceFolder}",

"executable": "C:\\opito\\zephyr\\opito_mqtt\\build_opito_ns\\zephyr\\zephyr.elf",

"request": "launch",

"type": "cortex-debug",

"runToEntryPoint": "main",

"servertype": "jlink",

"device": "nrf9160_xxAA",

"interface": "swd",

"armToolchainPath":"c:\\Users\\marsh\\.zephyrtools\\toolchain\\bin"

}
