JTAG debugging with ESP-WROVER-KIT in eclipse

[timredfern]

I'm trying to set up JTAG debugging according to http://esp-idf.readthedocs.io/en/latest ... -debugging

I'm using OSX. I think I've got my head around the FTDI driver unloading/ loading. openocd seems to be running properly:

Code: Select all

Im following the instructions at http://esp-idf.readthedocs.io/en/latest ... ugger.html to set up debugging in eclipse. All seems to be in order, until I hit debug.. eclipse shows this:

Code: Select all

Error in final launch sequence
    Failed to execute MI command:
         x $a1=0
         Error message from debugger back end:

openocd shows this:

Has anyone used this successfully?

I found that the

Code: Select all

x $a1=0

command that the docs say to include causes this error. I removed it and there doesn't seem to be any problem. After removing it, all works fine.

BOOM!

thanks so much.

I wonder if someone could update the docs?
