VS Code extension debugger not working in Ubuntu

[Dor Sadeh]

Hi,

After all installations the debugger does not work in Ubuntu with the message:

"No toolchain found. Please configure the nRF Connect Toolchain before starting debugging."

Compilation and flashing work smoothly.

some details:

os: Ubuntu 22.04 LTS

ncs 1.9.2

nrf connect for VS code v2023.1.44 

settings in nrf conect VS code:

- nrf connect toolchain path: /opt/gcc-arm-none-eabi-10.3-2021.10/bin

- nrf connect > debugging: Backend ==> nRF debug

Hi,

Have you referred the Getting Started page for VSCode extension pack? Please go through all 4 topics in the site, as shown below:

If you have done all these, please let me know in which step the problem arises.

Best Regards,

Priyanka

I have followed the steps here:
https://academy.nordicsemi.com/topic/exercise-1-1/

and as I said, building and flashing the application works fine.
only for debug I get the message:
"No toolchain found. Please configure the nRF Connect Toolchain before starting debugging."

[Priyanka]

As I mentioned earlier, please try installing a different SDK version, say v2.0.0 or later....or even v1.9.1 or v1.9.0 (you can find the instructions for this installation in that notification).

[Dor Sadeh]

Our application currently supports 1.9.2 and it can not be changed in the moment
We are in a process of migrating to 2.0.0 but it will take some time

So currently there is no solution to 1.9.2 for debugging?

Why 1.9.1 is ok and 1.9.2 isn't?

[Priyanka]

Okay. So as a precaution, I would ask you to carefully go through all the steps metioned here: https://developer.nordicsemi.com/nRF_Connect_SDK/doc/1.9.2/nrf/gs_installing.html#install-the-gnu-arm-embedded-toolchain 

and make sure you have completed all the steps. And please do let me know if you still get the problem.

I already went through this documentation.

Please tell me if you follow this documentation, are you able to debug an application with ncs192 and vscode extension v2023.1.44 in linux?

[Priyanka]

Yes, our team was able to do it. Have you installed everything else from step 1 to 4?
