Hello All,

I would like to know how best I can debug the xiao_ble board when programming using Zephyr?

I read in the documentation on Zephyr that the expansion board can allow you to flash and debug code, but I don’t think it does (I think I miss interpreted the statement below):

Is there I way I can use a library to output printk statements to the screen on the expansion board?

If I were to use an external debugger: am I able to step through the code and see variable values on my IDE or is it more primitive?

I hope that I can have a discussion that would help me better understand the above two questions and how I can best continue to debug my program.

Thanks,
