2. Click at the bottom to complete hardware programming.

Open the serial port, and you can see app_delayed_action start in one second and it will be triggered every seconds.

 [   1.000]<V> AOS [app_delayed_action#9] : app_delayed_action:9 app
 [   6.000]<V> AOS [app_delayed_action#9] : app_delayed_action:9 app
 [  11.000]<V> AOS [app_delayed_action#9] : app_delayed_action:9 app
 [  16.000]<V> AOS [app_delayed_action#9] : app_delayed_action:9 app

Double click on starterkitgui@starterkit in BUILD TARGET on the left to start compiling GUI demo OF Starter Kit . When Starter Kit is connected to the computer through USB, click on Upload to program the hardware.

The demo will read real-time data of accelerometer and draw a picture displayed in LCD.

Click on the bottom on the left to switch to Debug page.

Select Debug @ Mac/Linux .

Update AliOS-Things/.vscode/launch.json debug configuration file based on compiled and burned app@board. For example, modify related configuration after compiling and programing starterkitgui@starterkit.

Debugging in Windows is similar to configuration in Mac/Linux. The difference is that you need to select Debug @ Windows and modify the path of program to a mirror file corresponding to the programed firmware, as shown in the following picture：

"program": "D:\\work\\AliOS-Things\\out\\starterkitgui@starterkit\\binary\\[email protected]"

Click the green ▶️ button in the top left corner (or F5) to start debugging.

According to the setting in launch.json

"text": "break application_start"

After debugging, it will automatically turn to the set breakpoint application_start , and debug toolbar will appear on the top to provide commonly-used single step debugging functions, as shown in the picture :

Similarly, you can right click to selectRun to Cursor :

You can see variable values in the left view area :

So far, the basic debugging process has been completed. You can click on the red stop key on the upper toolbar to end debugging.
