What mono version did you use? I tested on pi3 with mono 4.4.1.

[JnrGuerreiro]

This is the version Installed.

Mono JIT compiler version 4.4.2 (Stable 4.4.2.11/f72fe45 Fri Jul 29 10:21:58 UTC 2016) Copyright (C) 2002-2014 Novell, Inc, Xamarin Inc and Contributors. www.mono-project.com TLS: __thread SIGSEGV: normal Notifications: epoll Architecture: armel,vfp+hard Disabled: none Misc: softdebug LLVM: supported, not enabled.

If I Try to debug normally on Visual Studio, this works. So I open Debug/Windows/Modules and when in MonoRemoteDebbug, there's no modules loaded, and in the icon of breakpoint on VS I got a message; The breakpoint will not currently be hit. No symbols have been loaded for this document.

Today I tested also on pi3 with mono 4.6.1, and it works well. Did you test on simple console application?

[JnrGuerreiro]

I've Tried with a lot of versions of mono but the problem was solved when I've Downloaded and Compiled Mono version 4.9.0 On Raspberry PI.

With Mono 4.9.0 the Debugger is working pretty good. Thanks for attention.
