	I'm trying to debug an Adafruit ItstyBitsy M4 with a J-link mini. When I try to "Attach to process..." vMicro runs this command: Starting: "C:\ProgramData\vmicro\tools\openocd-0.10.0.20200213\bin/openocd.exe" -d2 -l m4\Debug/Blink1.ino_DebugOpenOCD.log}" -s "C:\ProgramData\vmicro\tools\openocd-0.10.0.20200213/scripts/" -f "interface/jlink.cfg" -c "transport select swd" -f ariants/itsybitsy_m4/openocd_scripts/arduino_zero.cfg" -c "init" It exits with code 1. Checking the log file I find: embedded:startup.tcl:26: Error: Can't find riants/itsybitsy_m4/openocd_scripts/arduino_zero.cfg in procedure 'script' at file "embedded:startup.tcl", line 26 When I check under the itsybitsy_m4 directory there isn't any openocd_scripts directory at all. I'm not sure why these files are missing and I'm not sure how to fix this issue. Any advice?

	Thanks for the detailed report and information. The files are only there for boards where the GDB debugging has been integrated into the board package for Arduino. Looking at the board it uses the ATSAMD51 Cortex M4 Processor, which is listed in our OpenOCD configuration in the atsame5x file... If you right click on the project in Solution Explorer > Add > Local Board.txt, add below line, save. Then try re-attaching the target again Code tools.jlink.server.targetCmd=-c "transport select swd" -f "target/atsame5x.cfg" Let us know if this resolves the issue or if there are still problems. We can add this to the pre-configured elements in Visual Micro once working to save doing this in the future.

	Thank you, that seems to have corrected the problem for debugging. I'm still having the same issue when trying to upload via the j-link. Is there a different config to update that as well?

	Brilliant, and yes there is the below addition for the program upload. (Debugging is always the safest place to start) Code tools.jlink.program.targetCmd=-c "transport select swd" -f "target/atsame5x.cfg"
