ESP32 Debugging with Eclipse

[joshchen]

Hi,

I am using Eclipse and trying the debugging feature. I follows the tutorial from here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CbPX3q7LeBc

I followed the tutorial to use ESP-IDF GDB OpenOCD Debugging under Debug Configuration (Screenshot attached). However, in the "Config options" we need to specify the interface (what the debugging target is). By default, it uses "interface/ftdi/esp32_devkitj_v1.cfg -f board/esp32-wrover-kit-1.8v.cfg". However, I use ESP32-WROOM-32UE right now. It gave me these errors when clicked on "Debug":

"

How do I change the name for the interface and what cfg file I should use?

What if I use my own custom design, like integrate the ESP32 chip into my own PCBA design? What interface should I set to make the debugging in Eclipse work?

Thanks!

What's your hardware like, specifically, what board or JTAG adapter do you have?

[joshchen]

I haven't used any adapter yet. I am using ESP32-DEVKITC-32UE with USB cable only.

Do I need to use the ESP-PROG for Eclipse debugging? Can you provide more instructions on this?

Thanks you.

You would need an ESP-Prog or another JTAG adapter that is supported by OpenOCD.
