Defined: dongle: A small device that plugs into a computer and serves as an adapter ....[snip] In the OpenOCD case, this generally refers to a small adapter that attaches to your computer via USB or the parallel port.

One exception is the Ultimate Solutions ZY1000, packaged as a small box you attach via an ethernet cable. BTW, I started a gdb debug adapter at QNX and have someone working on it here. We’d be happy to contribute that as the starting point.

The If you want to choose between JTAG or SWD explicitly, use the table below to find the correct setting: The language server protocol, and now this debug adapter protocol, are awesome.

You can now write just one language server and one debug server for your favourite programming language, and it will work across multiple IDEs and editors. VSCodeGDB调试配置1.vscode启动debug窗口按Ctrl+Shift+D，打开Debug窗口默认是“Noconfigurations”，点击“F5”，会提示你配置GDB参数（选择gccbuildanddebugactivefile），配置文件名称为launch.json（配置参考3）配置完成后，再按F5,会提示配置GCC，选择“ConfigureTask..._vscode gdb For most setups we recommend leaving the “debug protocol” field empty or selecting “Default” to use the default protocol for the current adapter/device combination. It’s written in TypeScript and runs on node.js, which makes it really easy to plug into VS Code and Theia. Visual Studio Code supports a language agnostic Debug Adapter Protocol allowing for any language to be debugged once an appropriate debug adapter is created. Eclipse LSP4J and LSP4E enabled in early 2018 support for this Debug Adapter Protocol in Eclipse IDE. To add debug support to VSC for a new language, a debug adapter and debug extension are required (See Figure 1).

The adapter is a hardware module that provides the right signals for the target to understand. We’re closely following what CDT currently does with MI and is probably derived anyway ☺.

2 Debug Adapter Hardware.

Open On-Chip Debugger (OpenOCD) is a free, open-source project that aims to provide debugging, in-system programming, and boundary scan using a debug adapter.
