Strange behavior of ESP32 with breakpoints

Postby Solynin » Wed Feb 02, 2022 8:03 am

Hi !

We observe strange behavior of ESP32.

If breakpoint is set then error becomes:
"Guru Meditation Error: Core 0 panic'ed (Cache disabled but cached memory region accessed)."
Or if jtag debugging is used and step over F10 key used - the same behavior.

If running without breakpoints or by F5 in jtag debugging program works correctly.

It has begin yesterday on different PC on different projects.
In earlier times breakpoints worked well.


Log is below:

Very useful forum :)

helps -c 'set ESP_FLASH_SIZE 0' in arguments of openocd.exe

it is from here https://github.com/espressif/openocd-esp32/issues/115

but -c "init; halt; esp32 appimage_offset 0x30000" - openocd doesn't understand
