Common errors

error ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'spsdk_pyocd' ↓

cause The package is not installed or installed incorrectly.

fix

Run 'pip install spsdk-pyocd' to install the plugin.

error ImportError: cannot import name 'SPSDKPyOCDDebugProbe' from 'spsdk_pyocd' ↓

cause The class may have been renamed or moved in a different version.

fix

Check the installed version and refer to documentation; ensure you have the correct import path.

Warnings

gotcha The plugin requires both SPSDK and PyOCD to be installed. PyOCD must be installed separately; it is not an automatic dependency of spsdk-pyocd. ↓

fix Run 'pip install spsdk pyocd' before or after installing spsdk-pyocd.

gotcha The plugin is designed to work with SPSDK's debug interface; standalone PyOCD usage without SPSDK is not supported. ↓

fix Use within SPSDK context: from spsdk.debuggers import DebugProbe and register the probe via spsdk_pyocd.
