Hello,

I'm attempting to follow http://esp-idf.readthedocs.io/en/latest ... debugging/ to set up a Sparkfun ESP32 Thing but using the Segger J-Link Plus JTAG. I created an OpenOCD "board" configuration file for it by setting the following:

Code: Select all

transport select jtag
adapter_khz 20000
source [find target/esp32.cfg]

My CPU ID came back as 0x89001a65 instead of 0x120034e5, so I get errors:

Code: Select all

$ bin/openocd.exe -s share/openocd/scripts -f interface/jlink.cfg -f board/sparkfun-esp32-thing.cfg

So, I changed it in esp32.cfg but got a different error:

Really, I'm just fumbling around getting used to debugging on the ESP32 and I know I'll have to go through at least some of these steps when we implement it in our design so it's good practice. Can someone point me in the right direction? Thanks.

Just a note that this is what happens when your clock frequency is too high in the configuration.

First, the J-Link Plus states that the max interface speed is 15/50 MHz based on the model. Second, the impedance you create by connecting it will have a large effect on the frequency you can use.

I suspected a clock issue when I saw a few instances of the CPUID returning different values depending on how the wires were laying. Once I slowed it down to 10MHz, it was predictable and everything started working normally.

Hi,

I was wondering how you were able to get board/sparkfun-esp32-thing.cfg file. I was not able to find the cfg file for esp32-thing specifically in the "board" folder of openocd. Could you help me with this?

I am trying to connect esp32-thing with TIAO Adapter but I have some trouble and get stuck at

Code: Select all

Detected debug stubs @ 3ffb269c on core0 of target 'esp32'

Thanks
