OpenOCD installation issues, can't find 'esp108'

[justinmreina]

I am getting started on my ESP32 development and have just installed OpenOCD. I can't seem to access to esp108, see attached. What is the issue here, how to resolve? I am guessing it is not built in the OpenOCD directory (~/esp/openocd-esp32/), or it is not on PATH.

Hi justinmreina,

I do not see the command you have used to call OpenOCD. It should look as follows:

Code: Select all

$ src/openocd -s tcl -f interface/ftdi/esp32_devkitj_v1.cfg -f board/esp-wroom-32.cfg

You may need to adjust configuration files after "-f" to match your specifc h/w.

If done correctly you should see:

Code: Select all

this works, thank you !!

Original
See attached 'JTAG Installation Process - Jmr.txt':26 for the originally applied command -

Code: Select all

./src/openocd -s ./tcl -f ./esp32.cfg

Command Used
Here was my applied command (DevKitC Board, Segger J-Link EDU Programmer). Note that the unit connection was not successful, but the JTAG connection to my programmer was, mission accomplished!

Code: Select all

./src/openocd -s tcl -f interface/jlink.cfg -f board/esp-wroom-32.cfg

I am happy to see you are progressing!

Configuration files have changed with latest release of OpenOCD and "jtag_debugging_for_esp32_en.pdf v1.0" is not updated to reflect these changes.

Regarding the error log, it looks like communication speed or wiring problem:

Code: Select all

Info : Reduced speed from 20000 kHz to 15000 kHz (maximum).
Info : clock speed 20000 kHz
Error: JTAG scan chain interrogation failed: all zeroes
Error: Check JTAG interface, timings, target power, etc.

Basing on command to start OpenOCD I assume you are using an external JTAG adapter. In such case it is unlikely to achieve communication at 20 MHz.

If not done already I would reduce the speed several times (in range 10x - 100x depending on the cable length) by changing the following line in configuration:

Code: Select all

adapter_khz 20000

If the issue persists then check the wiring.

If the wiring looks correct:
- post a photo of your set up,
- specify types of ESP32 board & JTAG interface used,
- provide a list how the pins of JTAG interface and ESP32 module are connected.

Hi krzychb,
Thank you 20kHz works! The J-Link successfully connects now but JTAG is not established to my ESP32. Here is my hardware setup -

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

Here is what I see in response (see 'JTAG Response.pdf' for full response) -

Thoughts? What is missing? Why does it say "Info : No device selected, using first device", how to specify the device?

Thanks for your help here!

HI justinmreina,

You are clearly almost there.

I am not sure about wiring:

1. I would not connect 3.3V between ESP32 and Segger J-Link. ESP32 should be powered through own USB
2. From the pictures you posted it looks like one of lines is connected to GPIO27 while GPIO12 is not connected

Please see below set-up that I have just tested and works correctly.

All wires are about 10 cm long. In fact in this setup it is working with "adapter_khz" at 26 MHz that is maximum discussed in documentation. I have tested it for about 2h transmitting application traces as described in http://esp-idf.readthedocs.io/en/latest ... trace.html

It works now, thank you!! It did require connection of VCC to the JTAG for successful connection, and then ready to go!

That graphic you shared, wow this is good content. I've encapsulated it into my wiring write-up, quite useful here see attached!

[justinmreina]

My setup is almost complete in Eclipse, very eager to get started in dev. I've got one last step here, debugging. Is there a good 'hello world' ref to GDB/Eclipse debugging for the ESP32?

Known ESP-IDF Debugging Ref
- ESP-IDF: Docs » API Guides » Debugging

Debugging Goals
- HW/SW Code Breakpoints
- Code Stepping
- Register R/W

Each time I dive into the posted instructions, I get a bit intimidated and back down. What is the easy way to get started here?

[justinmreina]

any thoughts or ideas here? If anyone has anything toss it up and I'll dive in, with full report back in response!
