Debug in VS Code

[Fudanyrd]

Hi. I have figured out a way to debug kernel8.elf in vscode. Hopefully this will be useful.

In .vscode/tasks.json:

{
    "tasks": [
        {
            "type": "cppbuild",
            "label": "C/C++: gcc build active file",
            "command": "make",
            "args": [],
            "options": {
                "cwd": "${workspaceFolder}/build/"
            },
            "problemMatcher": [
                "$gcc"
            ],
            "group": {
                "kind": "build",
                "isDefault": true
            },
            "detail": "Task generated by Debugger."
        }
    ],
    "version": "2.0.0"
}

In .vscode/launch.json:

{
    "configurations": [
        {
            "name": "C/C++: gcc build and debug active file",
            "type": "cppdbg",
            "request": "launch",
            "program": "${workspaceFolder}/build/src/kernel8.elf",
            "args": [
            ],
            "stopAtEntry": true,
            "cwd": "${workspaceFolder}/build/",
            "environment": [],
            "externalConsole": false,
            "MIMode": "gdb",
            "setupCommands": [
                {
                    "description": "Enable pretty-printing for gdb",
                    "text": "-enable-pretty-printing",
                    "ignoreFailures": true
                },
                {
                    "description": "Set Disassembly Flavor to Intel",
                    "text": "-gdb-set disassembly-flavor intel",
                    "ignoreFailures": true
                },
                {
                    "description": "set architecture",
                    "text": "set architecture aarch64",
                    "ignoreFailures": false
                },
                {
                    "description": "set gdb port",
                    "text": "target remote localhost:1234",
                    "ignoreFailures": false
                },
                {
                    "description": "set kernel position",
                    "text": "file ${workspaceFolder}/build/src/kernel8.elf",
                    "ignoreFailures": false
                },
            ],
            "preLaunchTask": "C/C++: gcc build active file",
            "miDebuggerPath": "/usr/bin/gdb"
        }
    ],
    "version": "2.0.0"
}
