How to debug MCUXpresso for VScode application with daplink(cmsis-dap) probes or using pyocd?

[Ahmadh]

I'm using the MCUXpresso for vscode to build application for imxrt micro-controller and want to use DAPLink (cmsis-dap) opensource probes to debug and flash the firmware. I can see the support for segger/Linkserver/PE only. Can the MCUXpresso plugin support DAPlink or pyocd directly ?

Hi @Ahmadh ,

   Thank  you for your interest in the NXP MIMXRT product, I would like to provide service for you.

  Yes, the VScode can use the CMSIS DAP to debug the code.

   But, you need to install the MCUXPresso installer at first, then your board CMSIS DAP can be supported, and in the VScode project, you can find the CMSIS DAP debug interface, in fact, normally, we are using the CMSIS DAP, as the RT board is using the CMSIS DAP in default.

Please go to this linker, find the mcuxpresso installer:

This is the vscode cmsis dap interface after you add it in the mcuxpresso installer:

Wish it helps you!
