Hi Support,
I’m having trouble with remote debugging a board which is on the same network as the VisualGDB host. I am running openocd on the remote computer which connects to a stm32h7 via an st-link v3 probe. I have set up IPs, port numbers, telnet connection, etc which all work.
However, in less than a minute a JTag communications error occurs which causes VisualGDB to throw an exception. I sometimes see the the remote openocd display an error when it tries to open a file on the host drive. I still get the exception even when there are no file error. I don’t seem to get the problem when debugging locally, only remotely. JTag is unable to halt the micro after the communications error occurs, but pressing the Continue button on VS re-attaches it.
I’ve tried various settings on semi-hosting, but made no difference. I’ve tried different computers and networks, but no difference. I’ve updated openocd on host an remote, but no difference.
I notice VisualGDB also launches a local openocd, but I’m not sure if that’s intentional.
I’ve attached screenshots of VS when the exception is thrown and the remote openocd output. Remember, the file errors don’t always occur and therefore may not be related.
Any ideas how to fix this issue?
Cheers
David
Hi,
Sporadic JTAG errors are typically caused by wiring problems, too fast clocks or unstable power. They are completely outside of VisualGDB’s control, so our best advice would be to try running gdb/openocd manually. If it works better, we can help you configure VisualGDB to match the manual session results. If not, it’s not something VisualGDB could automatically fix.
