esp-idf master branch (5.1) with VisualGDB

[Masteraid]

Hi! I am encountering a build problem whenever i try to use the v.5.1 (master) of the espressif esp-idf from Visual Studio 2019 and VisualGDB

The problem seems to indicate that the tool is not downloading the correct gcc compiler, i paste here the error.

Thank you in advance for you help and your time.

Please try to run ‘idf.py fullclean’ to solve it.

Hi,

This is to be expected. The master branch of ESP-IDF is untested, often doesn’t work on Windows, and may require some tweaking to get working.

Once Espressif resolves these issues and gets confident about the quality, they usually publish it as a stable release, and we release a toolchain that includes it and works out-of-the-box. If you do not want to wait for that and would like to try the pre-release build, you will have to troubleshoot it yourself, sorry.

Ah, ok understood, do you have an idea of when the v5.1 will be released?

Thank you for your answer and your time

Please contact Espressif directly for all questions about ESP-IDF and other tools provided by them.

Thanks, we will look into it and release a repackaged toolchain within the next 2-3 weeks.

OK, we have just released an updated ESP32 toolchain that includes ESP-IDF 5.1 and fully supports ESP32-C6. Feel free to update to it via VisualGDB Package Manager.

We have also published a tutorial on debugging the ESP32-C6 here: https://visualgdb.com/tutorials/esp32/esp32-c6/
