Hi,
As every device-specific SDK generated by SDK builder is different from others, indeed some SDK versions or some devices may not be imported properly. As long as this is an MCUXPresso SDK, it is fully covered by our support. Please attach (or send to our support) the SDK archive and let us know the device name and the sample you pick from the wizard, and we will update our importer plugin to handle it correctly.
Our tutorials demonstrate how to efficiently use various VisualGDB features using various popular frameworks and libraries as examples. They are intended to help our users find productive ways of using VisualGDB in large real-world scenarios. We usually update them when the related VisualGDB features are considerably redesigned or new functionality is introduced on our side.
The tutorials would normally work as long as you are using the same version of the framework as shown in the tutorial. If you decide to try out a newer version of the library shown in the tutorial, you may indeed need to make adjustments to accommodate the differences introduced in the new version.
Hi,
This looks like an OpenCV issue and not something specific to VisualGDB, hence it is not covered by our support. Please consider asking on OpenCV forums for help for OpenCV-specific issues.
We will eventually update our OpenCV tutorial to reflect the latest version, however it has a relatively low priority, so we are not able to give any time estimates for it now.
Hi,
Most likely, you have converted the project to a stand-alone one, losing the ability to edit the frameworks. You can recheck it on the first page of VisualGDB Project Properties. If it shows the list of GCC flags rather than a list of devices, it is a stand-alone project that only includes a snapshot of a specific BSP configuration and cannot be automatically configured further.
Hi,
Sorry, this looks like a bug in OpenOCD. As the OpenOCD’s FLASH programming logic is maintained by ST, we don’t have many insights into it, however based on our previous experience, trying to rearrange various sections of your program (e.g. making sure they are aligned and none of them is too small) should fix it.
You can also try building OpenOCD from sources as shown here. Alternatively, please consider trying Segger J-Link. It comes with its own GDB stub that is more reliable than OpenOCD, and usually just works out-of-the-box.
Hi,
Please try using the “Signals and Exceptions” button (lightning icon) in the GDB Session window. This will open gdb-specific exception settings that let you configure specific exceptions.
VisualGDB stores the cached headers under %LOCALAPPDATA%\VisualGDB\RemoteSourceCache\<host name>. If you would like to avoid re-downloading them, consider simply copying or symlinking some of the directories there.
It is hard to say why optimization of the GPIO driver would cause any problems, but in case you want to look deeper into it, you can try overriding optimization level for individual functions by marking them with __attribute__((optimize(“O2”))).
No problem. Please try using the “Remember Quick Debug Sources” option described here to override this behavior.
Hi,
The easiest way to solve this would be to create another similar project from scratch using the VisualGDB Project Wizard. It would automatically test the connection to the target, cache the necessary include directories and make sure that all projects using this target would load correctly.
Hi,
You can select the language standard (that includes several options for both C and C++) on the first page of the VisualGDB Linux Project Wizard.
Hi,
With the ESP32 projects, VisualGDB uses the regular ESP-IDF build commands to configure and build the project. Please try building the projects manually and compare the build command line with the one shown in the VisualGDB Build Output window.
If VisualGDB is missing some build steps, or runs some command lines incorrectly, please let us know and we will be happy to fix it.
If the ESP-ADF projects build on Linux, but don’t build with the Windows-based toolchain, it is likely a bug of the ESP-ADF itself and it should be reported to Espressif instead.
Hi,
Please try updating to VisualGDB 5.5 Preview 4. It will automatically check the BSP version when opening the project and will suggest retargeting it to the version you have installed.
That said, switching to a newer BSP always comes with a risk of minor compatibility issues. Getting the older BSP as described here could be a safer bet.
