apparently when i execute

python C:/SysGCC/esp32/esp-idf/v5.2/tools/idf_tools.py check-python-dependencies
Constraint file: C:\Users\george\.espressif\espidf.constraints.v5.2.txt
Requirement files:
- C:\SysGCC\esp32\esp-idf\v5.2\tools\requirements\requirements.core.txt
Python being checked: C:\Espressif\python_env\idf5.2_py3.8_env\Scripts\python.exe
Python requirements are satisfied.

it looks into this file C:\Users\george\.espressif\espidf.constraints.v5.2.txt why is that in 5.2?

[milamber]

it seems there is a double \\ after python_env in the batch file

set IDF_PYTHON_ENV_PATH=C:\Espressif\python_env\\idf5.2_py3.8_env

[milamber]

i did that in my first post . it is the first thing in the post. i found where espressif for vscode installs by default in 5.2 (C:\Users\george\esp\v5.2.1\esp-idf) and copied espidf.constraints.v5.2.txt to where visualgdb expected it (where espressif installed until 5.1 C:\Users\george\.espressif) and the problem was solved.

 

i understand its a hack but the documentation provided didnt help solve.

I can delete everything and try again but i have done it a few times already with the same result. it seems that the installation of espressif somehow affects visualgdb although i thought that the 2 were independent.

I would be happy to troubleshoot if you want me to.

 

 

[milamber]

followed the instructions but the problem remains.

• cleared the  Python installations via Tools->Options->VisualGDB->General->Python Directory. (look at pic)
• I have deleted the python directories at  %LOCALAPPDATA%\VisualGDB\Python*
• created a new project (blink) based on esp-idf 5.2 (see attchement)  and clicked on the ‘get python’ button

this is the created the following directories

where obviously there is none. so i copy the  Python-3.8.10 directory into Python3 and the build fails in the same way

it is looking to find the C:\Users\george\.espressif\espidf.constraints.v5.2.txt file which doesnt exist, is the the directory where espresiff keeps in vscode installation?

The error remains if the variable in not used in a function that is executed.

When i relaunched visual studio and recompiled the project this is the linker report i got

------------------- Memory utilization report -------------------
Used ITCMRAM: 0 bytes out of 64KB (0%)
Used FLASH: 50KB out of 2048KB (2%) [-2632]
Used DTCMRAM1: 0 bytes out of 64KB (0%)
Used DTCMRAM2: 0 bytes out of 64KB (0%)
Used RAM: 6088 bytes out of 1024KB (0%) [-16]
Used RAM_CD: 0 bytes out of 128KB (0%) [-320]
Used RAM_SRD: 0 bytes out of 32KB (0%)

and this is once I flash the mpu once and recompile

------------------- Memory utilization report -------------------
Used ITCMRAM: 0 bytes out of 64KB (0%)
Used FLASH: 53KB out of 2048KB (2%) [+2688]
Used DTCMRAM1: 0 bytes out of 64KB (0%)
Used DTCMRAM2: 0 bytes out of 64KB (0%)

Used RAM_CD: 320 bytes out of 128KB (0%) [+320]
Used RAM_SRD: 0 bytes out of 32KB (0%)

is this normal behaviour?

This is a bug of visualdgb.

 

I flashed the smt32 and once I did that then the linker report and generated map file was updated and showed correct usage. Until I did that the linker memory report was wrong (wasn’t showing the variable in the correct place) and the variable wasn’t in the map file.

I was expecting to show the correct values and not wrong ones, without any additional step since linker usage and correct map file generation shouldn’t be depended on flashing the mpu.

[milamber]

I am not sure I follow. your product claims to be able to parse linker files correctly, yet is fails to do so when different project types are used. why this is a project support request??

[milamber]

any update on this? i was able to reproduce it

[milamber]

when i added an new file to compile (myprintf.c) then the button appeared and the code contained in my file is displayed on live coverage. I would like to see HAL functions covered as well like interrupt handlers

[milamber]

I have started a new project based on smt32cubemx project wizard and enabled code coverage. Now I don’t even get the live coverage window.

i get an exception when i try to add a file to code coverage

it does somewhat. I did follow the code instrumentation tutorial but I dont get the same results are you are showing in your tutorial. In your tutorial one can see function like IRQHandlers and o but when i do it i get something like the attached image

apparently you need J-Trace PRO to have trace information and not a simple j-link. please update the documentation since it is not clear what probe you need to get trace data

[milamber]

I did as you suggested and  it reports 0 data. Please have  in mind  that everything else seems to be working. the jlink flashes the cpu, swv is working
