Debug support for Arduino IDE 2 is working!

If you want to debug your MiniCore sketches on real hardware, you can do that now using dw-link. A quick-start guide shows you the necessary steps.

Very, very cool! Sorry for noe being more up-front. I'll definitely give it a try in early January, and ideally add a/your quick-start guide to the MiniCore readme

Hi Hans,

It would be cool if you could include the modifications to MiniCore. I can provide a PR for the current version. I could also produce a new debug-enabled version for each of your new MiniCore versions.

The modification now includes new tools (avr-gdb and a gdbserver), which are not yet in their final version, though. avr-gdb is copied from various sources but not statically linked. The gdbserver is a Python program that is "compiled" using pyinstaller. Both will probably work most of the time. But they are large and compatibility is sort of unsure.

I plan to use cross-compiling avr-gdb statically linked and write a minimal gdbserver in C++, which also could be cross-compiled statically linked.

Cheers,
Bernhard
