About Memory View for Debugging With STM32 VS Code

[rowellsa]

I wanted to inspect the memory using the built-in Memory View window in VS Code, but the option is unavailable even though the debugging is on at that time, and it says "Add a new view using the plus button in the Toolbar with the debugger paused. Supported debuggers: cspy, cortex-debug, cppdbg."

Is this a limitation of the current ST-Link GDB debugger in STM32 VS Code extension version?

You're not relying on proper memory view.
Right one is :

You're on :

Let's check CDT one is installed and call it Thanks (takes care this view is only available having a debug session active)

Isn't this curious that a viewer for Eclipse CDT (CubeIDE) works with Code, and one for mcu-debug does not?

 No magic answer is here I guess : https://github.com/mcu-debug/memview/blob/f9cb7f463d079b808f642bf553135bcba7addcc4/package.json#L34

@MGogr.1 not sure to understand your question here. Yes i'm able relying on CDT extension. I've shared snapshot of view running above.
