VSCode DEBUG PROBES window not loading (white line scrolling right).

buff — Fri, 03 Jul 2026 13:56:04 GMT

This is on OS X, VSC ver: 26.6.57. The DEBUG PROBES window is not detecting any probes (Segger at the moment). This is for a freeform project which was functioning before I performed an upgrade. I am looking for suggestions as to what to examine. The probes are functioning outside of the VSCode extension. I also have run MCUXpresso Installer as well (though the PEMicro server install always shows a spinning wheel, it did succeed in extracting the tar into ~/.mcuxpressotools/pemicrogdbserver - just an aside).

Useful info would be what/how the extension is attempting to interact with the debug tools. I have attempted to supply tool locations in the extension settings, etc.

Is the Debug Probes view controlled by the debug-tracker-vscode dependency?

There is a message visible briefly when this loads, something about no provider found.

Hello @buff,
When you mentioned, "This is for a freeform project which was functioning before I performed an upgrade," could you please clarify what was upgraded?

In order to try a pinpoint if this solves the issue, could you perform the following tests?

-In the Debug Probes window, click Clean-up Debug and then click the Refresh button.

-Update the MCUXpresso Installer to the latest available version. You can follow the steps described in the Package and Component Status, Version, and Updates section.

-Reinstall the SEGGER J-Link Software Pack from the MCUXpresso Installer.

Also, could you please provide me which device are you currently using? Is one of our EVKs or is a custom board?
