VSCode launch.json for running/debuging with flash offset

[Javier1]

I’m currently developing a template to help developers debug code located at address 0x8011000 using VSCode.
So far, I haven’t had any success getting the debugger to work properly.

The .elf file itself is fine, when I flash it using STM32CubeProgrammer and enable "Run after programming", the code executes as expected.

I’ve tried multiple solutions, including suggestions from ChatGPT, but nothing has worked yet.

Not sure to understand what you are tryi.g to do here. Please be explicit more. Maybe a chance to get help then.

Got it to work, in case someone has a similar issue: 
In my case Reset_Handler is defined in startup_stm32g474xx.s

launch.json 

{
  "version": "0.2.0",
  "configurations": [
    {
        "name": "Debug UserApp at an offset (no full reset)",
        "type": "cortex-debug",
        "request": "launch",
        "servertype": "stlink",  // you're using ST-LINK GDB server, not openocd
        "executable": "build/Debug/${workspaceFolderBasename}.elf",
        "device": "STM32G474RE",
        "gdbPath": "arm-none-eabi-gdb",
        "runToEntryPoint": "Reset_Handler",
        "postLaunchCommands": [
        "monitor halt",
        "break main"
        ],
        "overrideLaunchCommands": [
        "load"
        ],
      "showDevDebugOutput": "raw"
    }
  ]
}

tasks.json 

{
  "version": "2.0.0",
  "tasks": [
    {
    "label": "flash-userapp",
    "type": "shell",
    "command": "STM32_Programmer_CLI",
    "args": [
        "-c", "port=SWD",
        "-w", "build/Debug/${workspaceFolderBasename}.elf", // or .hex or .bin
        "-rst"
    ],
    "problemMatcher": []
    }
  ]
}
