Thanks for the report.

The Troubleshooting pages below may help identify the issue:
https://www.visualmicro.com/page/Troubleshooting-Debugging.aspx
https://www.visualmicro.com/page/Troubleshooter-for-Debugging-an-Arduino-Sketch-...

If not then please enable the below properties:
vMicro > Compiler > Verbose
vMicro > Compiler > Show Build Properties
vMicro > Uploader > Verbose

And then attach as text files the output from:
1) The Output > Micro Build Window, after completing a full build, and running Debug > Attach to Process
2) In the build folder there should be a log created <<projectname>>_OpenOCD.log
