Hi,
I am using trial version of Visual GDB. once happy we will buy it.
My ESP-IDF folder is outside C:\msys32 or C:\SysGCC not under. C:\SysGCC
I need point to my IDF_PATH to that location. e.g c:\Work\library\esp32\esp-idf
Do visual GDB picks from C:\msys32\etc\profile.d\export_idf_path.sh similar to command line version.
visual GDB force me to use ESP_IDF relative to under C:\SysGCC.
also Olimex ARM-USB-OCD-H with OpenOCD is not working with wrover with JTAG connected to SD card.
where can i download latest OpenOCD binaries and esp32 wrover cfg file? give me command line to use.
tell me command line to start openOCD specifying wrover cfg and then I run gdb then. I guess better first sort out command line version.
it could be wiring issue. but visual GDB works with my simple hello world project from within visual studio 2015. but not command line.
My main application uses external RAM. it could be interfering with wiring of SD card which is connected JTAG or external RAM pins. any idea. I will discuss with my hardware person as well on Monday/Tuesday. I cannot use SD card while debugging my application.
Any input will be appreciate. I will share my wiring diagrams as well if require.
Hi,
You can manage your ESP-IDF checkouts via VisualGDB Project Properties -> ESP-IDF Project -> ESP-IDF Checkout.
Unfortunately we do not provide support for debugging scenarios outside VisualGDB. Please use the VisualGDB Project Properties to configure your debugging settings or contact Espressif if you need help with ESP32 tools that are not part of VisualGDB.
Hi,
Sure. yes command line openOCD with gdb not working. but visual GDB for simple project hello world is working. I can debug it. but my project is not debugging. only difference i can see is my project is using external RAM. hello world project is not using external ram. I will try enable external ram for hello world project as well then check it.
I am using wrover esp32.
Hi,
If debugging consistently works on one project and consistently doesn’t work on another one, we would advise making a list of differences between the 2 projects and eliminating them one-by-one to see which one causes the problem.
If turning on external RAM indeed interferes with debugging, please inquire with Espressif for possible workarounds.
