Error GDB Server: Timeout on v0.4.4 to v0.4.5 for JLink debugging

I recently updated my cortex-debug version and had the error “Failed to launch undefined GDB Server: Timeout”. I traced the issue starting at v0.4.5. Here are my launch.json settings:

"configurations": [
        {
            "name": "Cortex Debug",
            "cwd": "${workspaceRoot}",
            "executable": "./BUILD/test.elf",
            "request": "launch",
            "type": "cortex-debug",
            "servertype": "jlink",
            "device": "RSL10",
            "interface": "swd",
            "svdFile": "../../rsl10.svd",
            "preLaunchTask": "${defaultBuildTask}"
        }
    ]

I have the JLink server and arm gdb path set in settings.json and confirmed they’re correct. The only thing that breaks the project is updating from 0.4.4 to 0.4.5.

It is JLinkGDBServerCLExe (not JLinkGDBServerExeCL) rigth @cwillforeal ? I can confirmt that it works with "serverpath": "JLinkGDBServerCLExe", on v0.4.7.

Now I saw that this information was added on the above mentioned wiki some days ago (and the CL part just got bold).

If it was kind of a “breaking change” shouldn’t it be on the change log? Anyway, problem seems to be solved, thanks @cwillforeal @haneefdm

My issue was solved by specifying JLinkGDBServerExeCL. Seems like the old version worked with the non CL jlink server but CL is required now. Hope that helps!
