Debug controller reset when including a method in source

[mazorsk]

Hello good people of espia
I have encountered a weird issue while debugging my software (using jtag ft2232hl), the code is written in C++..
What is happening is when i add the call to "esp_err_t err = esp_http_client_perform (client);"
and start debugging then the output given to me is

Info : esp32.cpu0: Debug controller was reset.
esp32.cpu0: Debug controller was reset.
Info : esp32.cpu0: Core was reset.

and being repeated, when i comment out the call to 'esp_http_client_perform' the debug works as proper and i can step through the code
Would love some assistance, Thanks in advance!

Hi mazorsk, could you check what is printed on the UART output when "Debug controller was reset" is printed in the debugger?

[mazorsk]

Hi, thank you for the fast reply.. im not sure what you mean by uart monitor (no such window in visualgdb)
i have the openocd output, again - this only happens when i include the mentioned method in the source..
thanks again

hi, i managed to step into some panic handler (wrapped the client_perform method with try/catch but to no avail)
0x3ffbc83b "abort() was called at PC 0x4015c6a3 on core 0" {97 'a'}
hopes this could help somehow

Hi!

So I Have This Issue too and i know solution for this.

So if you follow tutorial i found https://www.instructables.com/How-to-U ... -an-ESP32/.

First you must add line into platformio.ini

upload_protocol = esp-prog

Than You must change board in config i am using board = esp32dev

Than if you are using dev-kit you must connect GND cable to GND on ESP32 BOARD but only if you connected ESP-PROG via USB

also you can`t define port like debug_port = COM4 thats making issue.


Also if you downloaded platformio OpenOCD is included
