What is the expected behavior?

Hi,

When debuging my project using PIE / SIMD assembly instructions, I often encounter litlle problems...

The BIG one is the q0, q1 registers are always 0x0 and q2, q3, q4, q5, q6 & q7 always 0x7ff77e53dd140000001000000000 (14 bytes ?)

I saw others registers got updated but don't know for this ones.

What is the actual behavior?

Code run well on target but debuging not very well on VSCODE...

Steps to reproduce.

Try to debug an assembly code using PIE / SIMD on VSCODE.

Hi @alhyene

I think the problem is that OpenOCD does not support PIE registers retrieval yet. I will transfer this issue to that repo.
