I am trying to debug my ESP32 AI Thinker + Camera board, I already have it working from the Esspressif IDE for downloading and UART monitor etc. The only thing I cant get working is the debugger. I have the ESP-Prog wired up correctly to the ESP32, and can prove this by using it with PlatformIO and VSCode. But I really want to use the Esspressif IDE.
The instructions say first get openocd working in the IDE, so I have that working from inside the IDE
openocd --version
This works, and I then can also connect to the board
openocd -f board/esp32-wrover-kit-3.3v.cfg
the output is below
Code: Select all
u:\Esp_idf_ide\frameworks\esp-idf-v4.4>openocd -f board/esp32-wrover-kit-3.3v.cfg

Things have changed since the web page was done - you can see this is the web page instructions
It says to keep the hostname as localhost, and set port number to 3333, with Generic TCP/IP for JTag.
And this is what the IDE looks like now
The JTag Device I keep the same Generic TCP/IP, but there is this string for the connection
unspecified-ip-address:unspecified-port-number
What should the command be for the -target-select ? Is it correct - using the remote target option ? And then a colon : and port 3333 ? The default string in the field shows
GDB Connection String : unspecified-ip-address:unspecified-port-number
Do I just change it to
unspecified-ip-address:3333
Or
:3333
As neither seem to work. When I run Debug a dialog pops up and says
esp32 esspressif ide Failed to execute MI command: -target-select remote :3333
Any help appreciated. Thanks.
