Local and Static Variables: Backend is not available #12

I'm getting this Error: Backend is not available for local and static variables. I don't think it's an issue with the debugger because the registers are read ok. Am I missing a symbol file or something? Where can I pass that in?

Sorry about the unhelpful error message. Due to a bug in EWARM 8.40 (#10), we are unable to display any variables when debugging from VS Code.

There are two workarounds for this:

Add the variables you are interested in to the watch window
If possible, upgrade to a newer version of EWARM.
