Nano RP2040 Connect Orange LED flashing SOS, how to read crash report?

Official Hardware Nano Family Nano RP2040 Connect

Hi, everyone--

This is a pretty basic question: What's the official way to get the crash report from mBedOS when the Nano RP2040 Connect crashes with the orange LED flashing "SOS"?

I have the Nano RP2040 Connect connected via a USB cable to Arduino IDE running Serial Monitor the whole time. When it crashes, the Serial Monitor disconnects, even though the Nano RP2040 Connect is not disconnected/ejected as a USB device. I can only get the Serial Monitor to reconnect by unplugging the Nano RP2040 Connect from the USB port, which causes the Windows 10 USB device removal chime sound, then re-plugging it in, which restarts the sketch, and it runs fine for several hours before crashing again.

I was expecting to see the text of the crash report displayed on the Serial Monitor.

I leave the board attached to my PC and the Serial Monitor is running all the time, yet I have never seen the error output. Am I supposed to connect to the board some other way to get the crash report?

Any suggestions/help are welcome.

Thanks in advance!

Found the answer over here. It's the same process for the Arduino Nano BLE 33. Thanks to forum user pert!

I didn't know I had to actually connect to the Tx pin for the serial error output and that the USB C port would not output the serial console.
