Official VSCode Extension for ESP-IDF Projects - jtag upload

[simark1979]

Question to extension developers:
When jtag uploading will be implemented in official extension?
Uploading via serial port takes to much time.
And in my case, impossible: my device has no serial port on pcb, jtag only
So I cannot use your extension(

Does anybody implemeted this future?

Thank you!

You already got some very helpful answers here:
https://github.com/espressif/vscode-esp ... issues/161
(Actually it looks like this was just approved but you posted much earlier, so sorry for the attitude)

Perhaps a VS Code task that builds and then executes the command provided by pwmb would work for you.

So made jtag-upload task.
Tested under Windows only, but under Unix should work too

Limitation:
OpenOCD must be stopped before lunch this task.

1. Add new task in tasks.json:

Code: [Select all] [Expand/Collapse]

1.         {
2.             "label": "Flash - Flash jtag",
3.             "type": "shell",
4.             "presentation": {
5.                 "focus": true
6.             },
7.             "command": "${config:idf.pythonBinPathWin} ${workspaceRoot}/.vscode/flash_jtag.py",
8.             "windows": {
9.                 "command": "${config:idf.pythonBinPathWin} ${workspaceRoot}/.vscode/flash_jtag.py"
10.             },
11.             "options": {
12.                 "env": {
13.                     "PATH": "${config:idf.customExtraPaths}",
14.                     "OPENOCD_SCRIPTS": "${command:espIdf.getOpenOcdScriptValue}",
15.                     "OPENOCD_CONFIG": "${command:espIdf.getOpenOcdConfigs}",
16.                     "BUILD_DIR": "${workspaceRoot}\\build"
17.                 },
18.             },
19.             "problemMatcher": [
20.                 {
21.                     "owner": "py",
22.                     "fileLocation": [
23.                         "relative",
24.                         "${workspaceFolder}"
25.                     ],
26.                     "pattern": {
27.                         "regexp": "^\\.\\.(.*):(\\d+):(\\d+):\\s+(warning|error):\\s+(.*)$",
28.                         "file": 1,
29.                         "line": 2,
30.                         "column": 3,
31.                         "severity": 4,
32.                         "message": 5
33.                     }
34.                 },
35.                 {
36.                     "owner": "py",
37.                     "fileLocation": "absolute",
38.                     "pattern": {
39.                         "regexp": "^[^\\.](.*):(\\d+):(\\d+):\\s+(warning|error):\\s+(.*)$",
40.                         "file": 1,
41.                         "line": 2,
42.                         "column": 3,
43.                         "severity": 4,
44.                         "message": 5
45.                     }
46.                 }
47.             ]
48.         }

2. Create and put "flash_jtag.py" file into .vscode folder

Code: [Select all] [Expand/Collapse]

1. import subprocess
2. import os
3. import json
4.  
5. oocdScripts = os.environ["OPENOCD_SCRIPTS"]
6. oocdConfig = os.environ["OPENOCD_CONFIG"]
7. buildDir = os.environ["BUILD_DIR"]
8.  
9. oocdScripts = oocdScripts.replace("\\", "/")
10. builoocdConfigdDir = oocdConfig.replace("\\", "/")
11. buildDir = buildDir.replace("\\", "/")
12.  
13. cmd = "openocd.exe -s " + oocdScripts + " " + oocdConfig
14.  
15. with open(os.path.join(buildDir, "flasher_args.json")) as f:
16.     flasher_args = json.load(f)
17.  
18. for addr in flasher_args["flash_files"]:
19.     cmd = cmd + " -c \"program_esp32 " + buildDir + "/" + flasher_args["flash_files"][addr] + " " + addr + " verify exit\""
20.  
21. cmd = cmd + " -c \"reset\""
22.  
23. # Comment this, if exit from OpenOCD not needed
24. cmd = cmd + " -c \"exit\""
25.  
26. print("Executing:\n" + cmd)
27. print("")
28.  
29. os.system(cmd)

OpenOCD must be stopped before lunch this task.

Yes because the task need to connect via openocd to upload bins
