I’m using an ESP-Prog and all of the general setup seems to be OK but once it makes a GDB connection I get an error that it can’t find partion.c and then I also get warnings that it can’t write to 2 addresses (0x3f42c000 and 0x3f42d000)
I believe the 2 are related but the long directory where it is looking for the partition file is a mystery for me and I can’t seem to locate where it’s trying to look.
Here’s the section in my platformio.ini:
[env:portaprog_v5]
platform = espressif32@3.0.0
board = esp32dev
framework = arduino
monitor_speed = 115200
debug_tool = esp-prog
debug_init_break = tbreak setup
debug_build_flags = -O0 -ggdb3 -g3
debug_speed = 8000
and here’s the Debug Console Log:

I found in another post that “you need to install the ESP-IDF” which I’ve done but if you’re using the Arduino Framework I’m not sure installing the ESP-IDF is really needed or not.
