4 years ago 1) If I make a change to the source and click Restart a rebuild doesn't happen and the old code is reloaded. I added " debug_load_mode = always (or modified)" to platform.ini with no change. If I click "Upload" on the now orange bottom toolbar, it rebuilds the code and when I click Restart, it rebuilds the code again but evidently doesn't change the hex file as the change is not implemented. It appears this is because of the error message above occurs and the elf file is not rewritten
2) If I stop the debugger and rebuild code normally, it doesn't run seemingly still stopped at the setup() default breakpoint(?) I have to repower the target board to get it back working again. I think again this is because of the inability for the compiler to rewrite the elf file.
I found the section in the latest 4.1.0rc3 documentation about the [env:jlink_debug_and_upload] and extra_script.py which is exactly what I have implemented. However, the main difference is that I have a "custom Teensy" (for lack of a better term!). Not only is it on my own PCB but it is using a MK20DX128VHL7 (128K) vs a Teensy 3.1/3/2 which uses the 256K version, i.e. MK20DX256VHL7. To deal with this change, I have the following "board" defined (as teensy3X in my platform.ini file) which uses the following .ld file:

(Moved from "PlatformIO Home 3.0 Beta and powerful Project Inspection")
I upgraded to the latest Home (3.0.0-beta.3) and Core (4.1.0rc3) and build and upload work fine but debugging is broken.
I will say debugging wasn't perfect before as I could only run the debugger once and then when I tried to reset I would get a message that said "The preLaunchTask ‘undefined’ terminated....". Frankly, this is why I upgraded everything... hoping the debugger problem would get fixed. When the upgrade occurred the Teensy platform updated to 4.4.0 which wasn't my intention.
I am running a custom "Teensy 3.1" with my board json file in the boards folder of my project and the .ld file in my source folder. platform.ini and extra_script.py look like this:
platform.ini
extra_script.py
So the problem is now the debugger won't work at all. If I start debugging everything proceeds as usual but then the code starts. While the output says: PlatformIO: Resume the execution to `debug_init_break = tbreak main it never happens because if I "pause" the debugger I see the the code is stuck in an error loop in mk20dx128.c which is part of the Teensy core. I have checked (file by file) what changed when the Teensy platform was updated but don't see anything that changed that can be causing this. I've been trying to solve this for the last 8 hours and I am out of ideas.
So.... I would greatly appreciate some help on this. Thanks
NEW: I continued to work on this and found if I click the Restart button in the Debug toobar the debugger would then stop as it should on setup() in main() and then work I needed to click "Debug Anyway" in the "The preLaunchTask ‘undefined’ terminated...." error dialog. (I finally checked the box to not show the error in the future!).
So now I am back to where I was but whenever I Restart the ddebugger the terminal shows this
Also, whenever I stop the debugger I get this error message:
