Problems debugging ESP32-C6 - Espressif IDE

[dmgualb]

I was trying to debug a program for ESP32-C6 in Espressif IDE and the following error was always happening. I coudn'd enter debug:

Info : [esp32c6] Halt cause (5) - (PMP Load access fault)

- Oddly enough, when I tried to debug in VSCode with Espressif extension, it worked!
- Using the command line tools, it also worked!

So, the problem was only happening in Espressif IDE.

I've discovered that if I uncheck the "Flash every time with application binaries" in the "Startup" tab of the Debug configurations dialog, the debug works!

I could even make it flash the firmware before debugging using the "Initialization commands":

mon reset halt
mon program_esp c:/Users/dmgua/esp32workspace/blink-c6-530/build/blink.bin 0x10000 verify
flushregs
set remote hardware-watchpoint-limit {IDF_TARGET_CPU_WATCHPOINT_NUM}

OBS: You can not use \ (backslash) in the arguments of the "program_esp" command, even in Windows! Just /.

Other info:
- In the same computer/IDE, debugging in ESP32-C3 works flawlessly. So, it is something specific to C6.
- The error happened with both IDF 5.2 and 5.3 - The solution was only tested in 5.3.

If someone has a clue why this happened, and maybe a better solution, please, share.
