Re: Error updating ESP-IDF extension (from VSCode)

If you are trying to update, I assume the script also needs write and modify permissions on some files.
Have you tried just running the update command from an admin command prompt window?

Re: ESP communication with UHF Reader over TCP IP

Hi iottata, That "reader" looks like a point to point wireless bridge of some kind with some extra features like also having a bridge for an RS232 serial link. Assuming you are using the ethernet functionality of the reader device, what are you trying to connect to on the other end of the link? I th...

Re: Eclipse Debugging: Step OVER mostly steps INTO function

Hi Supino, This sounds like the way the debugger behaves when it is out of breakpoints. On most of the ESP32 processors, there are only 2 hardware breakpoints available. When the debugger steps over code, what actually happens behind the scenes is a temporary breakpoint is set on the next line of co...

Re: VSCode - IDF Extension 1.5 broke JTAG flashing for ESP32S3

I think I found the problem. The issue was an older version of openOCD in the paths variables idf.customExtraPaths and idf.customExtraVars in settings.json. Installing the new SDK had installed a new version of openOCD but several old versions were still installed. The path variables pointed to the ...

Re: VSCode - IDF Extension 1.5 broke JTAG flashing for ESP32S3

I can confirm this is not just your issue. It happened at a number of our workstations at lab and on my home machine. I reverted back to previous version of extension now other things are breaking. Still looking into this.. It's good to know I'm not the only one who has seen this problem. For the r...

BUMP! Is there any update on this?
FreeRTOS task aware debugging works in the current version of the VSCode plugin (1.5) and also worked in the 1.4 version.
The call stack window has separate expandable entries for each RTOS task.

Re: Is there a way to have ESP32 send its logs to a web server?

I used the MQTT client to send log prints to a broker on the network. It works very well and can handle a ridiculous number of prints per second. I used the mqtt_event_handler callback event MQTT_EVENT_CONNECTED to register a new log vprintf function. Here's how I did it. To get the log output, just...

VSCode - IDF Extension 1.5 broke JTAG flashing for ESP32S3

I am using a STM32S3-WROOM-2 module (with the octal flash and psram) and connecting using the built-in USB JTAG (and the associated virtual com port). My VSCode IDF plugin was automatically updated to version 1.5 a couple days ago and the JTAG flashing stopped working. When you click the flash devic...
