Debug don't work after code changed

Hi, Guys
I have a problem with Debug using "Built in (EDBG)" - when I first load a simple program and run in debug it works great - breakpoints function as required.
However, if I modify the source and click on "Start" again to recompile (See attached log file for the Output->Micro Build) it will not run ("Start" button changes to "Continue" and is grayed out). 
The only fix I found is to drop out of VS2019 and restart it then the debug runs correctly.

Can anyone help?
Kind regards
Dave Morris

Thanks for the report, if you disconnect the Arduino Zero from your PC this should allow you to retry debugging without having to restart VS.

Can you try adding a Local Board.txt to your project (vMicro > Add Code > Add Local Board.txt), and pasting in the text from the attached file.

Then try debugging again, and it should work the same every time when you press the Start Debugging button.

Hi Simon
Thanks for the quick response.

The unplugging the board (after I click on stop debug) and plugging it in again makes not difference.

However,  second option of updating the Board.txt file with attached file contents does work!

Thanks for your help
Dave

Thanks for confirming, reconnecting the board was just for a quicker way to try the process again without starting VS.

We will merge the board.txt change into the default settings and update this thread when the fixed release is available.

Please try the latest release (23.1006.02) which is available from the top of the below board and will remove the need for the board.txt:
