I am trying to get ESP32 JTAG debugging working, and I am having a hard time establishing connection. I am using the following setup & instructions:

Setup

Board: Espressif DevKitC
JTAG: Segger J-Link EDU
OS: Ubuntu 16.04 (Virtualbox, Win10 PC)

Instructions

Espressif JTAG Debugging for ESP32 V1.0

Problem
At Step 3.3.3 I cannot get my Segger to be recognized & used in OpenOCD. It is attached to my Virtualbox as follows (from dmesg):

dmesg output from connected Segger
[ 73.722856] usb 2-2: new full-speed USB device number 3 using ohci-pci
[ 74.270737] usb 2-2: New USB device found, idVendor=1366, idProduct=0101
[ 74.270741] usb 2-2: New USB device strings: Mfr=1, Product=2, SerialNumber=3
[ 74.270744] usb 2-2: Product: J-Link
[ 74.270746] usb 2-2: Manufacturer: SEGGER
[ 74.270748] usb 2-2: SerialNumber: 000269402770

How do you get the Segger to work for OpenOCD here, what is the target value to use for Step 3.3.3? Are there any examples that use the Segger for reference?

So excited to get JTAG working here, please let me know!

Edit the copied esp32.cfg file. Most importantly, change the source [find interface/ftdi/tumpa.cfg] line to reflect the physical JTAG adapter connected. (Note that this step is not needed when using the ESP-WROVER-KIT

What did you do at this step?

Nothing yet, that is where I got stuck!

If you change that line to '[find tcl/interface/jlink.cfg]', it should work.

what is 'esp108', how do I get this working?

Now I see -
./esp32.cfg:48: Error: invalid command name "esp108"
in procedure 'script'
at file "embedded:startup.tcl", line 60
at file "./esp32.cfg", line 48

Hi Justin,

Did you manage to make this work?
I kind of managed OpenOCD work with JLink but then (for some reason) after updating to the latest changes in OpenOCD repository this stopped working correctly.

[Sorry, this is my first post here]

I am using this post as a reference because the previous 'esp108' command stopped working: http://bbs.esp32.com/viewtopic.php?f=2&t=2404

Then, when running the result is:

Code: Select all

src/openocd -s tcl -f ./tcl/interface/jlink.cfg -f ./tcl/board/esp-wroom-32.cfg Open On-Chip Debugger 0.10.0-dev-gcc5b0f7 (2017-08-21-15:36)

Then, after that I can only connect to port 3333 (port 3334 is not open).
When connecting with GDB, I get this:

(gdb)

Before updating to the latest changes I could connect to both CPUs and this command showed two items, one per CPU.
I see some changes were done on esp32.cfg and a esp108.cfg file was added for the case of using one CPU.

Could anyone give some hing on what could be the problem?

Thank you.

Cheers
