nRF Connect VS Code: Custom Debug Command/Runner

[john23094]

Hi,

I'm using the nRF connect for VSCode extension, with a custom board, the board uses a nordic MCU but not a JLink based debugger (blackmagic probe).

So far I have most things working. It won't show up under the 'connected devices' menu since there isn't a Jlink connected, but I can flash by using a custom command, where I specify the runner to the west tool.

I wish to debug it though using the nRF connect for VScode's built in debugger.

This is easy to do with a Jlink board, it seems you have provided a custom debug configuration that integrates into the VSCode debugger? Is there a way I can find out what this configuration is, and modify it somehow such that I can use another gdb debugger (blackmagic probe)?

Hello,

It looks to be possible to add configuration, it will populate a lot of parameters based on the chosen configuration. Maybe you can try to play around with any of them:

Hi Kenneth.

Sorry for late response. I tried to play around with settings but couldn't work it out. Have switched to using a segger jlink instead to maintain compatibility with the nrf vs-code extension.
