On Chip Debug for (Some) MicroPython
A new method allows for on-chip debugging of MicroPython using Visual Studio. It requires a supported device and a USB cable, but some devices may have issues with the firmware. The feature offers benefits like viewing variables and control flow but has some limitations.
Developers can now debug MicroPython code directly in Visual Studio, using a supported device and USB cable. Some devices may not work properly with the firmware, and there are limitations on what the debugger can do.
This development makes debugging MicroPython easier for some users, improving the development process and helping identify issues more efficiently. It supports popular devices like the Raspberry Pi Pico and ESP32.
The feature provides a practical tool for developers, making it simpler to work with MicroPython and offering a more structured way to test and refine code. It reflects progress in making embedded programming more accessible.
