Hello there,
I am currently trying to debug the following firmware issue:
I've just gotten a hold of a Particle Debugger, connected to a BSoM eval board with a B523 running a very simple program that have just been created using the Create Project-function in Particle Workbench, alongside a connected micro-usb for flashing. I've reinstalled Workbench in VSCode as well as rolling back Cortex-Debug to v0.4.3.
For some reason, marking breakpoints as seen in the screenshot below, is not being respected by the debugger, it simply continuous to run after the initial 'resume' and I am unable to pause or use any of the debugger controls after. I am unsure why it doesn't have control over the execution of the program on my B523? When trynig to pause the execution, I receive the following response in the console:
Info : The target is not running when halt was requested, stopping GDB.
I am using the correct DeviceOS (v.5.5.0), correct device type and correct device ID is specified in settings. I've tried on both a Mac and a Windows computer.
And this is my debug console readout:
Cortex-Debug: VSCode debugger extension version 1.12.1 git(652d042). Usage info: https://github.com/Marus/cortex-debug#usage
