Describe the bug
west debug fails with error
I followed the getting started guide and the application development steps to create a very simple hello world program outside of the zephyr base directory. It compiles and flashes fine however when trying to get debug functioning I get the above error. I am using a jlink and mimxrt1060_evk.
Based on some stack exchange posts of other people missing that library I installed libpython3.8-dev and that solved the problem. Perhaps this should be added to the list of dependencies? Or did I miss something in the documentation?
