I have been debugging all morning my nRF52840 board V2.0.2 toolkit with vsc and it suddenly stops connecting.
I now get this error.
Cortex-Debug: VSCode debugger extension version 1.6.1 git(95d3d3e). Usage info: https://github.com/Marus/cortex-debug#usage

ERROR: GDB major version should be >= 9, yours is Unknown
GDB could not start as expected. Bad installation or version mismatch. See if you can start gdb from a shell prompt and check its version (Must be >= 9)
I have no problem flashing the board using the Nordic programing.
I have a Silabs chip as our host on this board and its debugger was also connected.
It may be that somehow the Silabs debug messaged things up so I disconnected it but I still get the error.
I reinstalled the Nordic vcs extentions and downloaded the latest JLink files.
Nothing helped me to understand what went wrong.
Here is my support information:
