Jlink debugging failure on esp32 devkitC board

,

I tried to debug using Jlink, but I can’t. What did I miss?

  • warning at build
Warning! Unknown upload protocol jlink-jtag
  • error at debugging

  • Jlink driver: WinUSB Driver (by using Zadig)

  • run InstDrivers.exe in core_dir/packages/tool-jlink/USBDriver

Then it’s a driver issue. Can you uninstall the driver installed by Zadig again, or try WinUSB instead of libusb in Zadig?

I have tried those as below. But debugging with J-Link dose not work.

[env:esp32dev]
platform = espressif32
framework = arduino
board = esp32dev
debug_tool = jlink
upload_protocol = jlink-jtag
monitor_speed = 115200
build_type = debug

When I created my esp32dev pio project, there were c_cpp_properties.json, extensions.json and launch.json in the .vscode folder. If I click the PIO Debug, I got an error message with “Could not find the specified task”.
my launch.json file is as below:

   "version": "0.2.0",
   "configurations": [
       {
           "type": "platformio-debug",
           "request": "launch",
           "name": "PIO Debug",
           "executable": "c:/Users/JJS/Documents/PlatformIO/Projects/230126-094810-arduino-blink/.pio/build/esp32dev/firmware.elf",
           "projectEnvName": "esp32dev",
           "toolchainBinDir": "C:/Users/JJS/.platformio/packages/toolchain-xtensa-esp32/bin",
           "internalConsoleOptions": "openOnSessionStart",
           "preLaunchTask": {
               "type": "PlatformIO",
               "task": "Pre-Debug"
           }
       },

I created tasks.json in .vscode as below, then the debugging was successful.

{
    "version": "2.0.0",
    "tasks": [
        {
            "label": "Pre-Debug",
            "type": "shell",
            "command": "pio run",
            "group": {
                "kind": "build",
                "isDefault": true
            },
        }
    ]
}

It’s fortunate that it was debugged, but I wonder why I need to create a tasks.json file in this project debugging with J-Link. Even when debugging with FTDI in the esp-wrover-kit project, there was a preLaunchTask item in the launch.json file, but tasks.json was not created and debugging was successful.
