[Closed] JTAG - Watchpoint, value unavailable

[vtunr_abl]

Hi,

I'm working on ESP32 WROOM and now using JTAG to flash and debug.
I manage to get it working but i can't get watchpoint working.

Here's the output on gdb :

Code: Select all

Temporary breakpoint 1, app_main ()
    at C:/OneDrive/ABL_new/p1/workspace_esp32/WiFi/main/src/app_main.c:490

(gdb) watch data_rx

(gdb) break 406

Error evaluating expression for watchpoint 3
value is not available

I have the same problem using eclipse, where the value is written as unavailable.
I have the compiler setup for debug (-Og).

Here's my config files :

openocd config file:

Code: Select all

interface jlink
adapter_khz 10000
set ESP32_RTOS FreeRTOS
transport select jtag
source [find share/openocd/scripts/target/esp32.cfg]

gdbinit:

Code: Select all

target remote :3333
mon reset halt
flushregs
thb app_main

What am i missing ?

Thanks,

Tony

How is data_rx allocated? If it's allocated on the stack, the variable effectively doesn't exist when the processor is not in that function.

Hi,

It was an issue with the toolchain, deleted and reinstall fresh and it's working fine now.
Everything is working fine now.
