Hi,

Please let us know the email associated with your license key so that we could check your support status.

Hi,

This looks like an error in the J-Link gdb server (JLinkGDBServerCL.exe). Please contact Segger support regarding this as we don’t have access to the Segger GDB stub internals and are not able to troubleshoot its crashes.

The memory we mentioned is used by the Semihosting Framework – it uses a part of the on-chip RAM to store the semihosting output (the debugger will read it in the background without stopping the target). This should not crash the J-Link gdb server, as all Fast Semihosting-related logic is handled by VisualGDB directly.

Hi,

Thanks for your feedback. We are planning to upgrade our IntelliSense engine to the latest Clang version as a part of the v5.4 release cycle (expect this to be available in the next 1-2 months). Feel free to follow us on twitter to get notified once the build with the new Clang is ready.

Hi,

This could be a wiring issue, an optimization bug (that should not happen when using out-of-the-box ESP-IDF) or a FLASH programming issue. First of all, please try simply pressing F5 to continue from the stop. Does the program resume as normal?

If not, please try creating and programming a basic “LEDBlink” project and then restart the board manually. Does the LED blink? If not, please follow this tutorial. If yes, please try disabling all breakpoints and try debugging it again.

Hi,

Not sure what toolchain you are downloading, but our ESP32 toolchain compatible with VisualGDB can be downloaded here: http://gnutoolchains.com/esp32/

[support]

Hi,

Yes, the toolchain can be installed in any location (although the path should not contain spaces).

You don’t need to re-download the toolchain. Once it is installed by running the .exe file, VisualGDB will automatically find it (you will need to restart Visual Studio if you installed the toolchain while it was running).

[support]

Hi,

No problem, please contact our support via the support form with your key details and we will review your case and provide further instructions.

Hi,

Sorry, this is by design. As our license price includes technical support and we are not able to check who is physically using each installation, we have to limit the amount of parallel activations to the amount of purchased seats.

We offer quantity discounts starting from 10 seats, however otherwise each extra seat will cost the regular license price. We understand that this might be annoying, however otherwise we would simply not be able to provide technical support to all our customers as the amount of support required by large teams would never be covered by a single license cost.

Hi,

Good to know it works. The recommended way to create Qt-based VisualGDB projects is still using the VisualGDB project wizard. This will setup the necessary file transfer rules, prepare the toolchain if necessary, and will ensure that various cross-platform build tools will work together properly.

[support]

Hi,

Thanks for your input. We have added it to the backlog and will try to address it in one of the next major releases, although as this is something very specific and low-impact, the relative priority of this feature is currently low.

[support]

Hi,

Sorry, as this case is very specific, we don’t have a tutorial fully covering it. Our best suggestion would be to look through OpenMP documentation and tutorials on their site to get a basic overview of it. That said, we will be happy to help you locate the relevant VisualGDB settings if you are experiencing troubles getting your project to work with VisualGDB.

[support]

Hi,

This could happen if we missed some scenario. Please let us know what exactly do you mean by “paths not recognized”. If you get a specific error message while trying to build or debug a project, please ensure you quote the entire error text and also let us know what exactly triggers it.

[support]

Hi,

Please try reproducing it on a newly created project. You might have accidentally overridden some settings that control temporary breaks for setting breakpoints. If the problem does not reappear on a newly created project, please compare the .vgdbsettings files of both projects.

[support]

Hi,

Please use the Qt Designer tool (or Qt plugin for VS). It will provide basic functionality for editing the UI files, although it is not as comprehensive as the WinForms/WPF editors.

[support]

Hi,

Thanks for the suggestion. As this is a fairly low-impact issue, we don’t want to add another dependency to a 3rd-party library like libmagic, however you could work around it by running it on your side and generating a list of exceptions to include/exclude.

To facilitate this, we have added support for the exclusion syntax to this build: http://sysprogs.com/files/tmp/VisualGDB-5.4.1.2187.msi

You can now use the “-ext1;-ext2;*” syntax to treat all file extensions except the explicitly entered exceptions as executables.
