Visual Studio 2019 + Visual Micro - step-by-step debug is available?

I recently installed the latest version of VisualMicro for VisualStudio 2019.
Having used it in previous years, I'm sure I used the breakpont and step-by-step code advancement feature
I currently can't use it
When I set a breakpoint and start the program, in my case, on a RP2350 card connected to the PC via USB, the code flow stops correctly at the breakpoint, but then pressing F10 or F11 to advance a line/routine resumes the code exactly as it does when pressing F5
The installed version of VisualMicro is 2025.1009.1900, the latest available on the manufacturer's website.
The board is   https://seengreat.com/wiki/173/
Is there perhaps something I need to configure to achieve step-by-step advancement?

Thanks for the report, and detail about the board.

Can you enable the below options in Visual Micro:
  • vMicro > Compiler > Verbose
  • vMicro > Compiler > Show Build Properties
  • vMicro > Uploader > Verbose


Then perform the full build and upload, and start the debugging session.

Please attach the full output from the Output > Micro Build, and Output > Debug windows as a text file for us to review.

Thanks for the logs and images.

Your current setup is using the vMicro Serial Debugger (set on the vMicro > Debugger > Debug option), which needs all breakpoints and watch variables to be set before upload, and does not support line by line stepping, only Break/Trace points.

The Hardware Debugging option allows the breakpoints to be set/changed at runtime, along with single line stepping, as you would have on a C++ program on your desktop.  This does require an external debug probe, which can also be made from another RP2350 board (with two variants available).

Let us know if you need any further guidance on which debugging route to use depending on the features needed, or with getting up and running with the Hardware Debugging setup.
