pio-debug: Debug a specific PlatformIO project.
$ pio debug --project-dir ${path-to-platformio_project}
try on your machine

The command "pio debug --project-dir ${path-to-platformio_project}" is used to start the debugging mode for a specific PlatformIO project.

Here is a breakdown of the command:

  • "pio debug": This is the main part of the command instructing PlatformIO to start the debugging mode.
  • "--project-dir": This flag specifies that we want to debug a specific project.
  • "${path-to-platformio_project}": This is a placeholder for the actual path to the PlatformIO project directory on your system. You need to replace this placeholder with the actual path to your project directory.

By running this command, PlatformIO will start the debugging mode for the specified project, allowing you to step through the code, set breakpoints, inspect variables, and track the execution flow to help you understand and debug your program.

This explanation was created by an AI. In most cases those are correct. But please always be careful and never run a command you are not sure if it is safe.
