ESP32-Pico-V3 fails to upload/debug using esp-prog

lienbacher · October 27, 2020, 11:00am

yes absolutely, that folder is there!

ivankravets · October 27, 2020, 11:12am

Please remove ~/.platformio/penv folder and restart VSCode. Does ~/.platformio/penv/bin/python --version work?

lienbacher · October 27, 2020, 11:16am

yes it works, version 3.8.4, removing penv folder did not make a difference.

@valeros very same symptoms with a blink

valeros · October 27, 2020, 11:36am

Could you please try erasing the entire flash memory? Just type pio run -t erase in the IDE terminal and try to debug the blink example again. Also would be great if you could attach here all log messages.

lienbacher · October 27, 2020, 12:37pm

This got us one step further. It does now stop at app_main, despite it not being stated in the platformio.ini in the blink project. It also stops at the first line in the loop. However if I try to step over it jumps into `start_cpu0_default.dbgasm’ at line 52 and wont ever jump back into the loop function.

Full log where i step over the first line in loop, and press resume after it jumped into start_cpu0_default.dbgasm:

valeros · October 27, 2020, 12:53pm

Looks like you’re using the stable version of espressif32 platform, you need to use the upstream version:

[env:esp32dev]
#platform = espressif32
platform = https://github.com/platformio/platform-espressif32#feature/openocd-update
board = esp32dev
framework = arduino
monitor_speed = 115200

lienbacher · October 27, 2020, 12:55pm

platformio.ini contains this exact line:

[env:esp32dev]
platform = https://github.com/platformio/platform-espressif32#feature/openocd-update
board = esp32dev
framework = arduino

yes at this point I also find this whole issue highly confusing.

edit: also if I really was using the stable version, uploading and debugging with the updated openocd version would not work at all as indicated early in this thread.

valeros · October 27, 2020, 1:11pm

For some reason an old command program_esp32 used for programming. Are you sure you’re using the latest development version of platformio-core? What is the output of pio --version command?

lienbacher · October 27, 2020, 1:15pm

wth
5.0.1
why that again? I did run pio upgrade --dev and it said it’s on 5.0.2

trying again with 5.0.2b3 …

lienbacher · October 27, 2020, 1:19pm

EDIT: disregard below, i have removed the breakpoint and started without breakpoint and it now works as expected

before edit:
@valeros it would have been boring if it worked now, wouldn’t it?

I’ve tried 3 times, also erased flash again to make sure.

At least we have set up proper environment for experimenting. Just to be sure, you didn’t enable flash encryption or secure boot?

lienbacher · October 27, 2020, 1:32pm

Please see the edit on top valeros! Resetting the breakpoint did the trick!

I have just also tried debugging the big project and it seems to be working just fine
Thank you very much for your amazing support!!

The only thing remains is python --version still reports 2.7.16, although since everything else works I can only imagine it’s a glitch

miq19 · October 27, 2020, 2:25pm

Thanks to your work my debug session now works as well with the updated platform and core. The program comes to a halt at least at setup().

It does not recognize my breakpoint set manually after it halted a few lines down, though. I will have to experiment a bit to find why, I think.

miq19 · October 27, 2020, 3:11pm

I cannot see why this is not stopping at the breakpoint:

The program is running as if no breakpoint would have been there

[update]
Never mind. While writing this I think I found the solution myself: the code at line 143 was meant to initialize some global array and seemingly has been executed at compile time already. Optimization indeed
