Not able to launch GDB in IDF v4.4
Not able to launch GDB in IDF v4.4
Hello,
I recently updated my IDF and .espressif folder to the latest stable configuration, IDF v4.4 but when I try to run the source level debugging enviroment is not possible. When I execute it in VS code, is able to launch the OpenOCD stage but seems is not able to launch GDB, this is what I get:
when normally it continues up to having the GDB enviroment. After some investigation, I noticed that from IDF v4.3.2 to v4.4 the xtensa version changed to esp-2021r2-patch2-8.4.0 and doesn't include a "xtensa-esp32-elf-gdb" folder as the previews version. I'm wondering that this could be the reason as the application is not finding it but any comment will be appreciated.

Hello community,
Any idea where could this folder be or what's going on?
Really appreciate your comments.

Moving this to the IDE subforum as I suspect it's a thing with the VSCode integration.

Re: Not able to launch GDB in IDF v4.4
Are you using ESP-IDF VSCode Extension v1.3 ?
(VSCode's default behavior is to automatically update.)
1. Does using F1 "ESP-IDF: Flash (with JTag)" succeed in programming the ESP32?
2. Does reverting the ESP-IDF VSCode Extension from v1.3 to v1.2, then launching the debugger, succeed?
The following thread may be related.

Re: Not able to launch GDB in IDF v4.4
In my case I don't think this is related to the VS ESP extension as it used to work with IDF v4.3.2 and extension v1.3, it stopped working since I updated to IDF v4.4 as the xtensa version changed to esp-2021r2-patch2-8.4.0 and doesn't include a "xtensa-esp32-elf-gdb" folder as the previews version.

Re: Not able to launch GDB in IDF v4.4
Schobert, I'm using ESP-IDF v4.4 with ESP-IDF VSCode Extension 1.3,
and despite your nice observation of the lack of the "xtensa-esp32-elf-gdb" folder,
it starts debugging fine, so that doesn't seem to be a cause.
With your present setup ( ESP-IDF v4.4 with ESP-IDF VSCode Extension 1.3),
does using
F1 "ESP-IDF: Flash (with JTag)"
succeed in programming the ESP32?
VSCode makes it easy to revert to v1.2 of the ESP-IDF VSCode Extension.
Does reverting the Extension from v1.3 to v1.2 (still using ESP-IDF v4.4),
then launching the debugger,
succeed?
