Helllo @all,

Hope you all are doing well in health. I am looking for a debugger for RISCV simulators like spike on vs code. I would be glad if you guys help me find out one.

What exactly do you mean by "simulators like Spike"?

What simulators other than Spike?

Spike debugging can be performed using GDB communicating with the simulator via OpenOCD.

https://github.com/riscv-software-src/riscv-isa-sim?tab=readme-ov-file#debugging-with-gdb

https://github.com/riscv-collab/riscv-openocd

And VS Code can be configured to integrate with all of these tools. There are many resources (e.g. blogs, tutorials, YouTube videos, etc.) that explain how to do this.

Hi,

if its for learning purposes, we maintain a standalone vscode plugin
that is based on the Venus simulator and doesn't need any extra
installation:

Best,
