IDE 2.3 is out, and also you’ll love the brand new debugging options in it

We’ve simply launched Arduino IDE 2.3, and together with the same old record of bug-fixes and enhancements, this new model marks the tip of the experimental part for the debug function – which is now secure and totally integrated into the IDE!

True to our perception in open requirements and interoperability, the debug function is now primarily based on a customary framework documented within the new specs and pointers. Because of this, maintainers of Arduino cores can now add debugging for any board and leverage the UI and debugging engine supplied by the Arduino IDE. 

What’s extra, due to this new open framework, we already enabled the debug function for all of the Arduino boards primarily based on the Mbed™ core, which embody GIGA R1 WiFi, Portenta H7, Opta, Nano BLE and Nano RP2040 Join, whereas the Renesas-based boards (UNO R4, Portenta C33) will comply with within the subsequent hours.

We’ve labored on implementing debug in IDE 2 for a very long time, in collaboration with the open-source neighborhood and, extra just lately, in shut contact with Espressif to make it possible for ESP32 units can be totally supported. So keep watch over the upcoming launch of the Arduino-ESP32 core, which is able to help the brand new debug framework! 

Need to have the ability to debug your favourite board utilizing IDE 2.3?

Get in contact with the platform developer or, even higher, assist them by submitting a pull request to implement the brand new specs.

We stay up for receiving your suggestions on the brand new debugging options within the Arduino discussion board or, when you’re a developer and need to report a bug, immediately within the GitHub repository.

Nonetheless interested in these bug-fixes? Arduino IDE 2.3 fixes safety problem CVE-2023-4863 (see particulars in this commit).

Get pleasure from the brand new Arduino IDE, and assist us make our growth atmosphere higher than ever!
