Hi,
I am really struggling to get Segger working with PlatformIO and VSCode.

I ave a number of different projects written in C++ using Platform IO / VSCode and I can’t seem to get it all working correctly, I am at a complete loss of what to do and where the problem may be. I have been struggling for a number of days with very little I can do to try and get it working.

I was originally going to post about the debugger stuck at ’Starting Target CPU’ but now I can’t even get that far. I get a 'Failed to open listener port 2331’ which after a few more moments of messages I end up with ‘Command Aborted’.

I have no idea where to how to resolve it, I’ve tried different software and redoing everything again, but I can’t make progress.

Can somebody give me any clues as to what to do, where I can find debug info and any idea how to configure it.

Thanks for reading may post

Hi,

Thanks for the links, but I am still struggling.

I have reinstalled VSCode, Platform IO and tried a really simple application. I already have gcc installed and I tried to ensure the path was set correctly, but your instructions don’t appear to be correct for the version of VSCode I have and it is not easy for me to understand what they are trying to configure. The tool recommends that you configure via the UI, which I can understand, so I am somewhat stuck.

The second link you shared references J-Link Commander, I have no such application, which one is on Mac? If I use JLinkExe, it works, I can connect and gather info about processor and indicates 'Cortex-M0 identified.‘ so that appears to suggest there is a connection between the my Mac and the EDU Mini.

It all appears to start, the debugger compiles, appears to do something and then the debug window stops at init. I can click forward using the debug controls, until I get to setup at which point it just stops - no error messages, nothing. If I had an error to go by, it would be much easier, but I have nothing. continually clicking just appears to change the screen below with nothing actually happening.

I suspect the Segger is working, but without any information I am at a complete loss, son I am really grateful for your help.

Below are the various configuration files, maybe they will help.

here is my c_cpp_properties file:-
