Description
the memory map definition in CoreSightTarget is:
return MemoryMap(
RamRegion(name="Code", start=0x00000000, length=0x20000000, access='rwx'),
RamRegion(name="SRAM", start=0x20000000, length=0x20000000, access='rwx'),
after start debugging in vscode + Cortex-Debug, the program don't stop at entry of main.
but after changing memory map definition to:
return MemoryMap(
FlashRegion(name="Code", start=0x00000000, length=0x20000000, blocksize=0x800, access='rwx'),
RamRegion(name="SRAM", start=0x20000000, length=0x20000000, access='rwx'),
after start debugging in vscode + Cortex-Debug, the program stop at entry of main.
So is this a problem?

Research direction
Start with the CoreSightTarget memory map definition and compare the behavior of Code as a RamRegion versus a FlashRegion. Reproduce the session through VS Code and Cortex-Debug, then inspect the GDB-server breakpoint flow; done means determining whether the region classification causes the failure and documenting or correcting the behavior with a regression check.
