A practical guide to enabling ARM semihosting with NXP LinkServer in VS Code using the MCUXpresso extension. Covers the required launch.json configuration including postLaunchCommands to enable semihosting and gdbServerExtraArgs to set the semihost port. Also explains how to view console output using the Microsoft Serial Monitor extension configured in TCP mode on the specified port.
