The command "pio debug" is a command used in PlatformIO, which is an open-source ecosystem for embedded development with a focus on creating firmware for microcontrollers and other hardware platforms.
The "pio debug" command is used to initiate a debugging session for your firmware code. It allows you to step through your code line by line, set breakpoints, inspect variables and memory, and track program execution to identify and fix any issues or bugs.
When you run the "pio debug" command, it starts the debugging session, and you can interact with the debugger through a user interface or command-line interface, depending on your setup and preferences. This command helps developers to understand the flow of their code execution and diagnose any problems that may arise during the development process.
