The ESP IDF build system is a mess, to understand it in detail is like to make a  university degree. It is much mor difficult than the controller itself  I want to code for. I want not to spend my time in studying CMake, Python, Ninja and whatever. My hope and assumption were that VisualGDB does the work for me like other IDE’s do.

Hello and thanks, I found it. But the file is not commented. And for me it is absolutely unclear how it could be possible  to get the value direct from the CPU-Register. The CCOUNT seems not to be mapped in the memory. Of curse  there must be way to do this, because GDB is displaying the CCOUNT value in the watching window. But how I should realize it with changes in the file DWT.xml? I consider to buy the custom version of VGDB if this feature would work. But how? Exist a detailed documentation  of the way I can do it by configuring  the DWT-file?

Thanks & Regards

Hello and thanks for the fast reply,

I couldn’t identify a register named CYCCNT,. But there exist a CPU-Register named CCOUNT, and this is increased every processor-clock cycle. This is also described in the Xtensa ISA Manual. And I would like to try it out. But I can not find the DWD.xml file. Is it located in the Project / Build directory or in the root of the VisualGDB plugin installation location. But where it is located on the windows OS? Do you have hint for me?
