Extension ignores "default" field of pdcs file for selection of flash algorithms

[riestmo]

Type: Bug Report

Describe the bug

• OS and Version: Ubuntu 20.04
• VS Code Version: 1.74.3
• Extension Version: v0.6.2
• Target Device: CY8C624ABZI-S2D44:Cortex-M4

When using the embedded-debug.flash command, the extension is loading a list of flash algorithms from the cmsisPack. As an example, the following flash algorithms are loaded for the Infineon::PSoC6_DFP@1.4.0 device family pack:

However, this is the entire list of available flash algorithms for this cmsisPack. For working correctly, only the default flash algorithms should be used. These are marked as "default=1" inside the pdsc file (e.g. https://github.com/Infineon/cmsis-packs/blob/master/PSoC6_DFP/Infineon.PSoC6_DFP.pdsc, DsubFamily="CY8C62xA").

As reference for the correct/expected behavior, Keil uVision is only using the default flash algorithms as listed here for the same cmsisPack:

Expected behavior
Only the default flash algorithms are used by the embedded-debug.flash command.

Thanks for raising this issue @riestmo. Would you mind looking at this @jreineckearm ?

Hi @thegecko & @jreineckearm, any updates on this issue?

[jreineckearm]

@riestmo , my apologies, this one slipped through. Your expectation about only loading default algorithms is correct. We will investigate this as soon as we can.
Would you mind sharing your task/debug configuration for the investigation as well?

Thanks for your reply @jreineckearm!

My task configuration looks like this:

Thanks @riestmo for providing the task config!
We were able to identify the issue in the debugger and are working on a fix.
We will let you know once this goes into a new release.
