Missing paramer when starting monitor on Espressif-IDE VSCode Extension

[blachner]

If I try to open the monitor on Espressif-IDE VSCode Extension (Ctrl + E M), I get the following error:

Code: Select all

It seems TOOLCHAIN_PREFIX is not set. I don't find a way to set it in the Espressif-IDE VSCode Extension. I just can remove the parameter "--toolchain-prefix" and monitor works.

It also woks, If I use the following command in the shell:
idf.py -p /dev/ttyUSB0 monitor

The parameter than is set to:
"--toolchain-prefix riscv32-esp-elf-"

By the way, compiling and flashing from the Espressif-IDE VSCode Extension works without problems.

How are you setting the target to esp32c6 ? We haven't add support for it in the vscode extension yet.

Probably because the toolchain_prefix is defined based on target and is a null string for anything else. Should fix this in the extension soon.

I set the target to esp32c6 with ESP-IDF: Set Espressif device target as described here: https://github.com/espressif/vscode-esp ... sic_use.md

esp32c6 was in the drop down list shown in VS Code.

Compiling and flashing woks. Monitor not.

This should be fixed in v1.6.1. Please take a look
