I just bought a particle debugger and am looking for some directions on how to set it up to work with a photon 2. Can somebody point me in the right direction?
I would also like to be able to use it on a bsom evaluation board.
The instructions are in the Workbench getting started guide.

Thank you.
How did you create your Particle project?
If you created it using Particle: Create New Project there should be a .vscode directory, and in that, a launch.json file. That contains the debugger settings and should prevent what you have in your screenshot.
Also, make sure you open the directory containing the project.properties file. Using the debugger in a multi-root workspace is confusing and may behave unexpectedly.
I am still having troubles with this. I am now getting the following error:
