Visual Studio Code Debugging

[pmaksa]

Hi Everyone!
I just joined the forum, and I did not find any topic related to this. Did anyone try to debug on gui via Visual Studio Code + GDB?

I have been trying for a few weeks with no much success. I do not have a board yet, so I am trying to do it with simulator. With normal gdb setup (using xgdb) it sets up everything but does not actually seem to run. It does not stop at any breakpoint in main. It shows threads as running (same in gdb console), but nothing is actually happening. When I press pause and check the address, it does not seem that it had done anything at all.

I tried to add "load" gdb command at initialization, because if I do it in terminal for myself, that actually makes it hit the breakpoint. Corresponding launch.json part for reference:

"setupCommands": [
{
"description": "Enable pretty-printing for gdb",
"text": "-enable-pretty-printing",
"ignoreFailures": true
},
{
"description": "Simulator",
"text": "connect -s",
"ignoreFailures": true
}
{
"description": "Load",
"text": "load",
"ignoreFailures": true
}
],

What happens after this? xgdb this the breakpoint, but VSCode exits for some reason:

Any idea how I could make it work?
