Black Magic Probe Specific Configuration

BMP support works not only for the USB serial port presented by the "classic" BMP, but also for a BMP built on an ESP32 WiFi platform, and for hosted builds (BMDA) too.

BMPGDBSerialPort

While the option mentions a SerialPort, the plug-in is just passing its value to a GDB launch as an argument.

This can also be the hostname and port offered by the ESP32 server or a hosted BMDA build.

A BMP-based launch.json configuration could look like this:

{
    "name": "BMP attach",
    "cwd": "${workspaceRoot}",
    "executable": "${workspaceRoot}/build/binaryToDebug.elf",
    "request": "attach",
    "type": "cortex-debug",
    "servertype": "bmp",
    "interface": "swd",
    "device": "STM32F407",
    "BMPGDBSerialPort": "espressif:2345",
    "runToMain": true,
    "preLaunchCommands": [
        "set async-remote false",
        "set remote-timeout 20"
    ],
    "preRestartCommands": [
        "enable breakpoint",
        "break main"
    ]
}
