Hi all
Trying to debug a new ESP32 project using proprietary hardware and esp-prog I could not start a GDB-session. After numerous trials and failures I reverted to this very basic scenario, but still no success: I created a new Arduino project using an ESP-Wrover-Kit V4.1. This is platformio.ini:
[env:esp-wrover-kit]
platform = espressif32
board = esp-wrover-kit
framework = arduino
debug_init_break = tbreak setup
debug_speed = 500
and this is the Arduino code, straight from PIO:
#include <Arduino.h>
// put function declarations here:
int myFunction(int, int);
void setup() {
// put your setup code here, to run once:
int result = myFunction(2, 3);
}
void loop() {
// put your main code here, to run repeatedly:
}
// put function definitions here:
int myFunction(int x, int y) {
return x + y;
}
Then I hit F5. Compilation in debug mode alsways works without errors, then GDB comes up. Sometimes execution stops at the entry of setup(), as expected. But mostly I get this on the Debug Console:
undefinedC:\Users\Peter\.platformio\packages\toolchain-xtensa-esp32\bin\xtensa-esp32-elf-gdb.exe: warning: Couldn't determine a path for the index cache directory.

.pioinit:12: Error in sourced command file:
Protocol error with Rcmd
- What algorithm is the target alredy running?
- And why is there a verification failure? I tried to alleviate communication problems by reducing the debug speed to 500 kHz.
- And what can I do to avoid this: WARNING: boards/esp32-wrover.cfg is deprecated, and may be removed in a future release.
If your board is ESP32-WROVER-KIT, use board/esp32-wrover-kit-1.8v.cfg instead.
Thank you for your help!
