Debugging mesh device when multiple DFU-enabled devices attached

Developer Tools Particle Workbench

Hi,

I’m trying to debug a Xenon with a Particle Debugger. I’ve placed the Xenon in DFU mode, but I have another peripheral attached which is also DFU-capable (afaik I’m not able to disable this; it’s a PreSonus AudioBox iTwo, but shouldn’t matter).

When I attempt to debug from VSCode:

> Executing task: make -f '/Users/boneskull/.particle/toolchains/buildscripts/1.5.1/Makefile' flash-debug -s <

Serial device PARTICLE_SERIAL_DEV : not available
Flashing using dfu:

dfu-util: More than one DFU capable USB device found! Try `--list' and specify the serial number or disconnect all but one device

make[1]: *** [program-dfu] Error 74
make: *** [flash-debug] Error 2
The terminal process terminated with exit code: 2

Press any key to close the terminal.

Now, an obvious workaround is to just unplug the other device, but I was wondering if there was any other workaround that wouldn’t require this? Can I hand some parameter to the launch config that will specify the serial/ID of the device I’m trying to flash?

I can manually flash using the CLI via particle flash --usb path/to/firmware.bin with multiple DFU-capable devices attached, so it would seem that it’s not out of the realm of possibility to address this from Workbench.

thanks,
Chris
