I’m wondering if there is any debugger which works with PlatformIO that would allow me to do inline debuging with 8bit AVR chips such as attiny85 or atmega328p.
The official debugger is atmel ICE, and i was able to find some posts mentioning people managed to upload code to the chips with it with PIO, but no mention of any debugging support.
I really enjoy using inline debugging in PIO with my other chips such as stm32 chips, and I would love to also have this functionality for my 8bit AVR chips. So does PIO support debugging with the Atmel ICE, or perhaps some other hardware, for 8bit AVR chips?
If i understand it correctly, avr-stub is kind of a simulated debugger, where it inserts code into the sketch to make fake breakpoints, so if the flash is full of regular code it won’t really work, plus it also uses up the serial port and interrupt, those are some big tradeoffs, specially since I often use serial and interrupts in my projects
So it looks like atmel is at fault here for not providing a debugger server?
Oh well, I suppose i’ll just stick with debugging via serial print, it’s not that bad of a method. Thanks.
