Debug in Arduino IDE - is it possible? ...or even Platform IO

Is it possible to use the debug function in Arduino IDE?
- I have STM32F4 and am using ST-Link V2 to program id via SWD, but can't get it to work (tbh I've never used the debug function before so it may well be operator error!)

Yes it is functional.
Enable the Optimize for debugging in the Sketch menu.
Compile, upload then click the debug button.

Thanks so much, I'm happy debugging now....

Debugging stm32 in arduino IDE sounds great, do you have a roadmap how to do it? I cannot find much information on internet...

If you have a STLINK simply follow the step described in my previous post or read the chapter "Getting to Know the Debugger" here
https://docs.arduino.cc/software/ide-v2 ... -debugger/

That chapter is for SAMD boards, i assume it will work for STM32, right?
I have one nucleo-64 with integrated stlink programmer, i'll give it a try.
Thanks

The way it works is then same. Tools configuration are done under the hood moreover for a Nucleo64.
So simply:
Enable the Optimize for debugging in the Sketch menu.
Compile, upload then click the debug button.
