Hi I’ve recently purchased Visual GDB and really like using it. I’ve been tasked to develop an application in MBED and have used the MBED template for Visual Studio 2019. I need to implement Bluetooth LE so I thought I would fire up the sample from the MBED website. It compiles correctly and flashes the board but when debugging or running it won’t get past the line BLE &ble = BLE::Instance();

I’m fairly new to this platform so if anyone could help as in what settings i’m getting wrong or how to point me in the right direction. I’ve downloaded MBED studio and the same code compiles and runs successfully in that without hanging. The board i’m using is B-L475E-IOTA1 STM32L475. I’ve tried using the latest VisualGDB which is v 5.5 i believe and still the same result. I am using MBED 5.15 latest build
