Can I run the IDF Monitor under Eclipse?

[Philbot]

I do all my ESP32 development using the IDF plugin for Eclipse.

Currently I have an application that has a problem that I'm trying to track down....
I display the output on the serial terminal... Shortly in, I get a WDT trip and then a BackTrace dump.
I've done all the regular "easy" debugging tricks, with no avail.
I suspect I have a memeory overwrite problem somewhere.

To egt deeper, I want to decode the addresses in the BackTrace, and I see that there is an "IDF Monitor" program that will do this for me.
But all the docs show running it from the command line, and as much as I try, I can't get the pathing to work.

https://docs.espressif.com/projects/esp ... nitor.html

Is there a way to run the idf_monitor from eclipse alongside my project dev environment. New launch command or some thing?
Or is there a manual way to get access to the program line addresses. Remember.. command lines don't work for me.

Thanks.
Phil.

Hi Phil,

ESP-IDF Serial monitor in eclipse is based on the "idf.py monitor", ideally, it should support all the features what is mentioned here https://docs.espressif.com/projects/esp ... nitor.html

if something is missing we could investigate further on this.

However, if you would like to use the idf monitor from the esp-idf terminal(within Eclipse), you should be able to do that as it comes with all predefined esp-idf environment variables. Please check this https://github.com/espressif/idf-eclips ... dfterminal
