Openocd update issue
Posted: Sat Feb 13, 2021 4:44 am
I have ESP-IDF v4.2 installed in Windows 10 for Visual Studio Code. Without an obvious reason, I started to get error messages that the openocd version was wrong. The installed version was v0.10.0-esp32-20200709 and I did try to upgrade it to openocd-esp32-win32-0.10.0-esp32-20201202.
It didn't work at all and the VSC became useless for ESP32 development. I did try the normal things, such as deleting .expressif and esp/esp-idf folders and reinstalling everything. This didn't help. Now, when I am trying to build a project, I am getting a useless error message
Something went wrong while trying to build the project
After that, I did use the esp-idf-tools-setup-2.3.exe application to get v4.2 tools installed independently of VSC. Now ESP-IDF works at command line for build, flash, and monitor, but VSC doesn't work at all.
Question1: How the VSC and Expressif IDF Extension can be reset to initial state to complete a fresh install?
Question2: How the openocd-esp32-win32-0.10.0-esp32-20201202 should be installed? The esp-idf-tools-setup-2.3 is still installing v0.10.0-esp32-20200709 for v4.2
Still happy for Espressif Hardware and ESP-IDF bits, but not happy how they are (not) working in VSC and Eclipse.
