About the spresense IDE Configuration and Debugger

I am in charge of SPRESENSE support for Sony.

We have reviewed how to use debugger (LPC-Link2) in Visual Studio Code.
Depending on your environmental conditions, the specified timeout error may occur.

[Problematic Symptoms]

when connecting to debugger with Visual Studio Code 　Failed to launch OpenOCD GDB Server:Timeout. message appears.

[Possible cause]
　If CMD_INFO fails with CMSIS-DAP command for OpenOCD running at debugger startup,
　timeout occurs.

The cause appears to be a device driver problem with LPC-Link 2.

Prerequisites

• Burning CMSIS-DAP FW to LPC-LINK2 board
• I have installed the NXP-provided LPC-LINK2 driver.
• Connect the SPRESENSE expansion board with SWD connectors and LPC-Link 2 with connectors.

There is a high possibility that the following steps will solve the problem, so could you please try it?
　
対応How to respond 方法
Remove the affected LPC-LINK2 device from Device Manager by performing the following steps:

If OpenOCD can be connected to ICE with the above correspondence, the debugger will be available in Visual Studio Code.

Thank you for your continued support at SPRESENSE.
