Debugging on the LoPy

[betabrain]

I have an issue here with some code and would like to debug it.
Is there a way to debug on the LoPy?

OSError('Network card not available',)

@betabrain there's a way to connect a JTAG debugger and launch GDB, but it's not for the faint of heart ;-)

Can you share the steps to reproduce it? Thanks.

[betabrain]

@daniel Looks like I have got a steep learning curve ahead of me. :-( Can a JTAG debugger then be queried by the Python debugger, or are we strictly in C mode?

Feature Request: Good debugging story!

I will try. Have to use logging then to track it down. Might take a few days. I will file my results on GH and cross-link forum and issue for your reference.

Feature Request: Good debugging story!

This is already on our wish list, to add a MicroPython debugger to Pymakr :-)

But anyway, for the kind of crash that you are experiencing, the only way to find the root cause is to debug it at C level.

@daniel Here you go, courtesy of print-based debugging and tenacity:

While I have your attention, please reopen...

Python has a debugger , which is available as a module called pdb . It supports setting conditional breakpoints , stepping through the source code one line at a time, stack inspection, and more.

import pdb
msg = "this is a test"
pdb.set_trace()
print(msg)

Insert pdb.set_trace() anywhere and it will function as a breakpoint . When you execute the script by python test.py, you will in the debug mode.
