Problems with "Enable debug options"

[Lars M]

Hi,

I am facing a problem with the selection "Enable debug options" when creating a build configuration. I use nRF connect SDK 1.9.1 with VSCode. I create an application from sample aws_iot. Then I make two different build configurations, one with "Enable debug options" checked, and one with the option unchecked. The one that has debug option enabled is not possible to debug (it may work once, but all other debug sessions do not work). But the one that doesn't have the option enabled works fine to debug.

How come there is a difference?

What does "Enable debug options" provide?

Best regards,
Lars

Hi,

Could you try building unmodified NCS aws_iot sample directly (without making application from sample)?

Hi,

Do you mean that I should select "Add an excisting application" so the build catalogues are created where the original example is placed? Doing that makes no difference, I get the exact same behaviour as I explained above.

Best regards,

Hi,

If you need debugger, you could try to use Ozone debugger instead of VS Code one.

Hi,

Do you have debugging repeatedly working for aws_iot?

I got the feeling that you wrote something in a previous post, that you have reported this issue internally. Have you erased that part?

Are you not able to fix debugging in VS Code for aws_iot?

Best regards,
Lars

Hi,

I am just suggesting you to use Ozone as a debugger if you have an issue with VS Code debugger, but you do not have to use it if you do not want to do that.
