I have been pulling my hair out trying to configure VSCode on MacOS to support the above mention configuration. The debugging works on the command line: I started the OpenOCD server in a separate terminal window like this:
sudo openocd -f interface/cmsis-dap.cfg -f target/rp2040.cfg -c "adapter speed 5000"
Which starts fine and recognises the debug probe.
In a terminal window within VSCode I select the PICO examples build/blink directory and I start the debugger:
arm-none-eabi-gdb blink.elf
and I can happily set breakpoints etc. So the basic setup works, and the targets built by VSCode are proper.
However, to get visual debugging within the GUI fails. I have tried various variations of 'launch.json', 'settings.json' and 'tasks.json' but none seem to work.
The variations I found on the various sites are all similar, but none of them are functional. I also tried variations of json files in the 'ide/vscode' as distributed but no succes..
I am using VSCode Version on MacOS Monterey 12.6.7: 1.79.2 (Universal) Commit: 695af097c7bd098fbf017ce3ac85e09bbc5dda06 Date: 2023-06-14T08:58:52.392Z Electron: 22.5.7 Chromium: 108.0.5359.215 Node.js: 16.17.1 V8: 10.8.168.25-electron.0 OS: Darwin x64 21.6.0
Does anybody have this working on a system similar to mine? If so, what are the settings in the json files.
I did install OpenOCD for MacOS (chipcode-nl.picoprobe-mac) as well, but that does not seems to be very functional. As I explained above, the basis setup for OpenOCD from the command line works...
Install "Cortex-debug" is the answer. Thanks to hcheung
