Cannot debug project in VS code [spawn Unknown system error -86]

[Marco Russi]

Hello,

I have installed VS code and the nRF Connect extensions.

I can build and flash my project into the nRF52840 DK board but as I try to Debug I get this error:

spawn Unknown system error -86

I have buit the configuration with Debug options enabled.

See the error popup message in the bottom right corner of the attached screenshot.

Can anyone please help?

Thank you.

Marco

Hi Dejan,

yes I guess it has to do with Thread/radio timing and interrupt stuff.... 

I use logging but I wish I could debug as that's the point of using VS code.

I'll close this ticket and eventually open a new one.

Thanks.

Cheers.

Marco

Timing could be off after hitting the breakpoint while Softdevice Controller is running.
