Cannot start GDB: Target Machine Actively Refused It

[CurtisHx]

I’m having a problem getting GDB to start on an NRF52832 project. I’m using the NRF52832 dev kit. This was working several weeks ago, now I get the following GDB error whenever I try to launch the debugger. This is on Windows 10 with Visual Studio 2015.

target remote :2331
&”target remote :2331\n”
&”:2331: No connection could be made because the target machine actively refused it.\n”
:2331: No connection could be made because the target machine actively refused it.
qt: Failed to connect to the debug stub

at v.o(String a, rg b)

at v.p2(IEnumerable`1 a, Boolean b)

at v.i1_2(DebugCustomizationSettings a)

at vj.b2()

at VisualGDB.GDBDebugEngine.d1(rw b, a a)

Hi,

Please check the GDB stub output (e.g. Segger GDB stub) via Debug->Windows->GDB Stub. It should contain detailed information about the error.
