Thanks for the detail, and apologies I had completely missed the MIDebuggerServerAddress setting out, can you change that property in your JSON to the below:
Code
Select All
"MIDebuggerServerAddress": "localhost:3333",


We are currently investigating and working on these fixes, and we will have a solution in the next day or so to all of these issues, thanks again for reporting this!

This should now be resolved in the latest release (2022.11.28-2) available from the top of the board below, which will no longer need the JSON or board.txt files:
https://www.visualmicro.com/forums/YaBB.pl?board=VS_ARDUINO_EXT_RELEASES

If you backup your JSON and board.txt files to another folder, and then delete them from solution explorer, and set the vMicro > Debugger > Hardware Debugger back to PicoProbe, it should all work now.

Let us know if you encounter further issues around this, and thanks again for this report!
