Remote Debugging

[Michael Perez]

Hi,

I am new at vscode and I was looking for a way to debug my c code and it seems this is the best extension for it..

I am running the vscode in my mac and want to debug a code that runs on a device connected though Jtag...

I am able to debug using the command line and lldb but was not able to do so with the extension . 

The commands I use to debug from terminal are:

1. lldb

2. target create <full path to symbol file>

3.gdb-remote localhost:8000

When using the extension I did the following configuration:

"configurations": [

{

"name": "Remote attach",

"type": "lldb",

"request": "custom",

"targetCreateCommands": ["target create <full path to symbol file>"],

"processCreateCommands": ["gdb-remote localhost:8000"]

}

I see that the debugger is able to attched. I get the disassembly only although I tries the source remapping and the most important issue is that as soon as I perform any operation such as:

1. step over

2. add breakpoints has no effect

anything else but play, it exit with an error: Process exited with code -1. 

Can anyone please maybe help me to fix that?

Thanks!

Are you able to stop on breakpoints in CLI debugger?     Your launch configuration looks correct, and should have worked the same as CLI lldb.

The only thing I am not sure about is "<full path to symbol file>": what kind of file is that?   Usually, you'd point `target` to a local copy of the binary you are running remotely.  

Please check out these instructions if you haven't already.
