Issue with ESP-IDF project and flash burning

[dedvalson]

Hi,

I have an annoyance that I wonder if there is a way around. When I try to start a new debug session, the flash burn fails every other try (exactly every other one).

What is interesting though is that I do not have this issue when I set “Debug Using” to “ESP32 DevKit”

I do have this issue when using my hardware. In this case I choose “OpenOCD, and interface/ftdi/tumpa.cfg”

But what is interesting is that my hardware (when connected to the tumpa card) is identical to what is in the ESP32 DevKit. But of course the chip in the devkit has a different USB ID.

Is there a way for me to use the method that works with the ESP32 DevKit on what should be identical hardware with the tumpa board?

Thanks,

Don

Hi,

If the problem only occurs on your board, but not on the reference board, it is likely caused by wiring issues (e.g. cross-talk, wrong reset connection, etc.). Generally if the problem cannot be reliably reproduced on any of the boards mentioned in our tutorials, we won’t be able to offer much help as a part of our regular product support. That said, feel free to attach the error log you are getting from OpenOCD. If this is something we have seen before, we might be able to at least suggest the direction for further investigation.

Hi,

I get the same error on the reference board if I use OpenOCD and interface/ftdi/devkitj_f1. But I don’t get it if I choose USB Devices and ESP32 DevKit.

I have attached two screen shots (I can’t see how to make them display inline. One shows the configuration that works on the reference board, the other shows the configuration that fails every other time on the reference board.

The text of the error is as follows:

Hi,

Thanks for clarifying this. Please try clicking the “test connection” button in both cases, copy the OpenOCD command line shown in the test window and then compare the working command line with non-working one. Then please try running OpenOCD manually to determine a specific flag that causes the issue.
