Eclipse and pyOCD v0.28.2, pyOCD can not start debugging. #990

Closed lennvn closed 4 years ago

I updated pyCOD to v0.28.2. When I launch the pyOCD debug configuration, pyCOD stop at "0001590:INFO:server:Semihost server started on port 4444 (core 0)" and the there's no debug window. I used pyOCD 0.22.1 before.

Afaik, in the case that you're using "Embedded C/C++ PyOCD Debugging" plugin as me, I experience the same issue as you. The problem is related with the use of the deprecated pyocd-gdbserver which is typically setup. I was able to get things working by starting the "pyocd gdb" server externally in a terminal. Hope that works for you.

PS: I didn't test it, but this (https://github.com/pyocd/pyOCD/commit/1ba9b17f3288aaeecb168116b1ff556c678bc105) @flit commit could be possibly related with that issue.

Yes, #988 fixes the problem with starting pyocd-gdbserver. (The problem was reported by @joergw on the Eclipse Embedded CDT forum. I really should have created an issue here!)

I'm going to go ahead and close this issue since the fix is committed. A 0.28.3 version will be released probably today or tomorrow that includes the fix.

I should mention that I'm working on a series of improvements to the pyocd plugin in Eclipse Embedded CDT. Unfortunately that's been stalled because I can't seem to get a working development environment (the old docs no longer work, Liviu hasn't written new docs, and I've almost no experience with Eclipse development, which is very complex).

That kind of improvements will be great @flit !
