stm32 vscode extension debug issue

[weji]

I recently started working the STM32 project on VS Code.

I could apparently compile it with no problem.

However, I have a very hard time trying to make the debugging work. 

Error looks like this:

Normally there should be a place to configure the debug mode (JTAG/SWD), and the interface (STLINK, JLINK) etc. But I could not find any of them.
Anyone who could give me some tutorials about how to make the debugging to work, please? 
Thanks very much!

I had the same issue as you. For some reason none of the path environment variables for the STM32CubeCLT seem to resolve. Hence as workaround, I replaced these with absolute links and this enabled me to run and debug.

I am using a macOS but if you convert to the windows paths for the respective STM32CubeCLT files it should hopefully work for you.

This is what I changed:

1) "miDebuggerPath": "/opt/ST/STM32CubeCLT/GNU-tools-for-STM32/bin/arm-none-eabi-gdb",

2) "debugServerPath": "/opt/ST/STM32CubeCLT/STLink-gdb-server/bin/ST-LINK_gdbserver",

3) "debugServerArgs": "--stm32cubeprogrammer-path /opt/ST/STM32CubeCLT/STM32CubeProgrammer/bin/ --swd --port-number 3333",

4) "svdPath": "/opt/ST/STM32CubeCLT/STMicroelectronics_CMSIS_SVD/STM32F0x0.svd"

Hi,

For some reason, when I installed STM32CubeIDE, I could debug it. 

It seems like the debugger set paths are referenced to some internal path of CubeIDE. 

I thought I could avoid downloading and installing the IDE, but I was wrong. 

However, as long as I don't have to open it and use it, it is fine with me.

Thank you for sharing your solution though!

Hi Weji,

Please watch my 2 tutorials (link below) which should hopefully help you out. They are targeted towards macOS but VS code debugger setup is very similar on windows:

 

VS Code STM32 macOS - CMake Project (STM32 VS Code Extension):

VS Code STM32 macOS - Makefile Project

If you still having problems after watching then let me know and ill try to assist further,

check that your CubeCLT path is correct in the settings
