STM32Cube for Visual Studio Code Debug with Generic GDB server Extension
General
The st-cube-ide-debug-generic-gdbserver extension provides a generic Debug Adapter Protocol (DAP) implementation that promotes advanced launch.json snippets. This extension allows users to leverage Cube debug core assets (see the dedicated extension, which is a dependency) while maintaining full control over the GDB server configuration through the launch.json content. It is dedicated to advanced users who require more flexibility and have a deep understanding of each setting for the targeted server.
