Hi,

Thanks for sharing the log. This looks like an internal bug of the gdb debugger included in your toolchain. Please try using a different gdb version (e.g. from an older toolchain), or try changing the debug information format in your project properties as this might stop the bug from being triggered.

Hi,

Strange, the log doesn’t indicate any known error. As a quick check, does restarting your computer solve the problem?

Hi,

Thanks, we have reproduced it and fixed it in this build: http://sysprogs.com/files/tmp/VisualGDB-5.4.1.2127.msi

Hi,

Good to know it works. With linker script, VisualGDB supports 2 levels of specifying it:

• On the Project Properties page. This affects all configurations.
• On the MSBuild Settings page. This overrides the default per-project setting and affects each configuration independently.

If you would like to have different settings for different configurations, please explicitly override the linker script on the MSBuild settings page for each configuration.

Hi,

Looks like your project is missing a system initialization file. Normally STM32CubeMX should generate it (system_<MCU name>.c), so please double-check your project for this file (or simply search all .c files for SystemInit). You can also reference the “Default System Initialization file” framework via VisualGDB Project Properties, however it might not 100% match your board configuration.

Hi,

Good to know it works now. If you could let us know what were you selecting before (VisualGDB should normally gray out the ‘next’ button if no toolchain is selected), we should be able to add better handling for this (it might be also already fixed in the recently released v5.4 Preview 1).

Hi,

Perhaps you have accidentally disabled X11 forwarding? Please double-check that the Program output setting (bottom of the Debug Settings page of VisualGDB Project Properties). Does it state “Forward program output to Visual Studio”? If yes, please also check that X11 forwarding is not disabled via Tools->VisualGDB->SSH Host Manager->Per-host Settings.

Hi,

No problem. Based on your description, this is most likely caused by some setting specific to your project files.

First of all, please try the recently released VisualGDB 5.4 Preview1: https://sysprogs.com/files/visualgdb/VisualGDB-5.4-preview1.msi

If the problem still persists, please try either attaching one of your project files (.vcxproj, .filters, .vgdbsettings, .props files should be sufficient, you don’t need to attach the actual source code) or attach another VS instance to the primary one (in the Managed Debug mode) and try reproducing the problem. The outer VS instance should catch the crash and display detailed information about it.

Hi,

Yes, normally just running ESPImageTool.exe <ELF file> [optional FLASH settings] should do the job.

Please feel free to look through this tutorial to get a basic understanding of ESP8266 OTA with VisualGDB: https://visualgdb.com/tutorials/esp8266/ota/

Hi,

This looks like a limitation of newlib-nano. Please follow the link below for known workarounds: https://github.com/RIOT-OS/RIOT/issues/1891

Hi,

OK, we have released v5.4 Preview 1 that supports the new advanced ESP-IDF project subsystem. You can download the build here. You can read the announcement with the main highlights of the new subsystem here: https://sysprogs.com/w/announcing-visualgdb-5-4-preview-1/.

Hi,

First of all, sorry about the broken ‘find all’ function. The internal VS implementation of this function is hardcoded to use files on the Windows machine only, so it indeed doesn’t work with projects accessed fully via SSH yet (we will eventually provide our own equivalent of this function). The “find all references”, code map and other functions should work as expected though.

With eigen, please try locating a specific .cpp file that shows the missing header files, locate it in the IntelliSense Diagnostics Console -> Project View  and click on it (the gear icon means that the file has overridden build arguments, the “X” icon means that the file does not participate in build and doesn’t indicate an error). Once you click at that file, VisualGDB will display the CFLAGS used for that file at the bottom of the diagnostics console window.

Please check if the CFLAGS shown there mention the directory where the missing headers are located. If you are not sure, please let us know the details (full directory path and exact CFLAGS).

Hi,

Sorry for the confusion. The Embedded edition indeed doesn’t support the Linux-based targets as shown on the feature matrix on the buy page.

If you have purchased the Embedded edition within the last month, you can upgrade it to Linux edition by paying just the price difference here: http://sysprogs.com/splm/mykey (otherwise maintenance period extension surcharge will apply).

Hi,

No problem, please try this build: http://sysprogs.com/files/tmp/VisualGDB-5.4.1.2095.msi. You will need to change any setting (e.g. port number) on the Settings page in order to save the settings with all variables present (newly created projects won’t need this as long as you are using the new build).

[support]

Hi,

The add_subdirectory() command should not normally affect the include directories, it only tells CMake to look for CMakeLists.txt in a specified location.

The behavior you are describing might also be caused by disabled “aggressive completion” mode. If auto-completion works when you press Ctrl-Space, please click at the lightning icon symbol in the completion popup to enable the aggressive mode.

Unfortunately it’s hard to say what is going on with the diagnostics console without a screenshot. If you could attach one, we could help you fix this.
