Disable VMDPE Messages

Hi

In my newest ESP32 project I get the VMDPE debugger messages on the serial. I have a few questions about this:


* In my past projects these messages never showed up or at least they were not displayed (I alweays worked in debug mode). Why are the displayed now and how can i turn the display off?
* When I compile in release mode, the VMDPE messages dont show up, but all the other nmessages I send with Serial.printf() are not displayed either. Amy idea why this is happening?
* Last but not least, I dont have any need for the VMDPE messages, even in debug build mode (dont really use the debugger). Is there a way to just disable them completely? I have tried to set the debug option to Debug: Off, but that has no effect, resp. the option field does no accept the Off value that I choose in the dropdown. Why?   

Best regards

Tom

Thanks for the report.

These should not really be displayed, however a couple can sneak through (they are the messages back from the board communicating debug states).  In the past you would have had the Debug: Off option set...

Have you included the Serial.begin() call in your setup() function in your code? (The debugger adds this when it is enabled if it is missing).

If you disable vMicro > Debugger > Automatic Software Debugging (Release/Debug) this will allow the Debug: Off option to be selected.
You may also want to disable vMicro > General > Tutorial Mode (which creates the Automatic Breakpoint if none are set with the Serial Debugger).

Thanks for the help and the quick respose!

I have indeed forgotten to add Serial.begin() in my latest project. Also disabling the messages work as expected.
