You can then start the Debugger in VSC.

==== How so I start the Debugger in VSC? ====
A careful balancing act is required here because there are a lot of entities attempting to work harmoniously here and a Pi can be a small world.
1/ The zynthian running on Pi, preferably as meaty as one can get. A Pi3 for instance will run out of resources with more recent engines.
2/ A Separate Computer Host from where the operation is all controlled.
Visual Studio Code is an excellent environment for this and it fairly effortlessly sets up most of the environment for you.
It will need to be running on your host machine, be it Windows, Mac or Linux which could be running on a Pi. VSC runs on them all. Indeed this is being typed on a Raspberry Pi desktop machine which has VSC open and already connected to Pi4 ( zynthian-rack6.local in this exercise)
