RE: Setup launch config for JLink remote debug in VS Code

Hi Michael,

The configuration below runs fine for me:

{
    "name": "(remote cortex-debug) Launch",
    "type": "cortex-debug",
    "request": "launch",
    "executable": "${command:cmake.buildDirectory}/zephyr/zephyr.elf",
    "cwd": "${workspaceFolder}",
    "servertype": "external",
    "interface": "swd",
    "gdbPath": "/usr/bin/gdb-multiarch",
    "gdbTarget": "${env:TARGET_GDB_IP}:2331",
    "armToolchainPath": "/opt/gnuarmemb/bin",
    "rtos": "GDBServer/RTOSPlugin_Zephyr"
}

In this example, I am using the environment variable TARGET_GDB_IP to define the IP address of the server. You can of course also set the address directly in the field "gdb_target".

As you are on Windows, you will also have to adapt (or remove) "gdbPath" and "armToolchainPath" to your setup.

Best regards
