Totally understand, thanks so much!

Thanks, I greatly appreciate the advice and information. It’s a tough call because Amazon FreeRTOS says not to use an ESP-IDF other than theirs! But I’m with you, I would prefer to use the more recent ESP-IDF with its associated fixes (especially the dreadful UART RX FIFO one) as well.

 

Thanks again, this has been a huge help, very glad I purchased VisualGDB.

I’m pretty sure Amazon FreeRTOS for ESP32 has its own modified version of the special port of FreeRTOS from Espressif that you mentioned. I believe it also includes a modified ESP-IDF. I’ve run/debugged the demo on my ESP32 board using the xtensa command line tools and openocd without incident. I really like the visual debug capabilities in VisualGDB, however, and would prefer to work in that.

 

Is there a means for setting my VisualGDB project up so that it would use the ESP-IDF and FreeRTOS provided by Amazon FreeRTOS?

The demo project setup can be found here, it has a Makefile and sdkconfig goodies. I was idealistic and hopedI could just import the project based on these files but after using the ESP-IDF wizard per your suggestion I guess not. If there is a way I could use set up my project to use the FreeRTOS and ESP-IDF that’s in this demo, since it’s Amazon FreeRTOS specific, instead of the ones downloaded by VisualGDB, that would be choice.

Thanks, any suggestions on how I could go about importing it into VisualGDB? I tried importing from Amazon FreeRTOS demo’s Makefile to no avail.

 

Thanks!
