Resolved: error erasing flash with vFlashErase

Hello all,

Has anyone had this type of debugger error before?

“Could not restart/reset: Error erasing flash with vFlashErase packet (from interpreter-exec console “load”)”

For some reason I have suddenly been having these issues with my debugger. I have tried two different physical debuggers just in case it is an issue there.

I have updated a couple of lines in my .vscode/launch.json:

One was to update to, runToEntryPoint:
“runToEntryPoint”: “main”,

The other was:
“showDevDebugOutput”: “none”,

I don’t know that either one of these should be causing this issue.

Any insights or help would be greatly appreciated.

Note: I am using the JTAG debugger that is sold here on the electro-smith site.

Hello all,

After taking a closer look I decided to clean out some of the items in my .vscode directory. I had a couple of files that were not in other directories such as:

    .cortex-debug.peripherals.state.json
    .cortex-debug.registers.state.json

I did that and had to update a few directories in the tasks.json file to match my updated local repo.

Once I did that and restarted the debugging… all seems well now. Not sure why this was all happening, but it is all back and seems to work working well now.

Thanks,
Brett

Thank you! I also found that removing those 2 json files did the trick when i had a similar issue.
