I am trying to build Squeezelite-esp32 (CMake project) under Windows wit Eclispe. It requires IDFv4.0 but it keeps using my
installed IDF v4.2.

In the project settings I added environment variable IDF_PATH set to my IDF v4.0 location, but it still uses IDF v4.2.

How to tell an Eclipse project ...

I have added "loglevel 5" to the debug configuration. Pressed F5 (with 2 breakpoints configured) the application was executing (LED blinks serial output) but but it did not stop on a breakpoint.

Some noticable part from the log:


2021-03-16 20:07:42,755 - Gdb - INFO - CONS: '\\n'

The story continues,

Added pulldown resistor to TDI and added:


"idf.openOcdConfigs" : ["board/esp32-wrover-kit-3.3v.cfg"]

to settings.JSON as ESP_bignacio pointed out.

This clearly improved consistency: flashing now always works. However debugging is still a bit weird, I noticed the ...

When trying to find out the correct flash voltage for the board, I looked into several datasheets and forum posts. It is seems not specified within the electrical specifications but somewhere 'hidden' within the text.

I found the WROVER (without extension) requires 1.8V and the WROVER-B, WROVER-E ...

@ESP_roland and @ESP_bignacio

First thank you for yor replies. I will try to answer most of the questions from both here.

What is the value of idf.openOcdConfigs also called List of configuration files inside OpenOCD Scripts directory in Preferences: Open Settings (UI) ?


There is no: idf ...

After many attempts to get JTAG debugging working with a Lyra-T board, I bought a Wrover-kit, which has on board JTAG. This to rule out any hardware issues which might exist in my Lyra-T setup. Unfortunately again issues. When attempting to flash the 'blink' application serially from VSCODE:

$ H ...

I have updated the settings.json up to 3 times with the new open OCD version. It seems after a restart it gets overwritten again with the 'old' version. Why (and by what) is settings.json overwritten ?

I have also updated my open OCD and edited the settings.json. I have done it about three times and each time (probably after restart VSCODE) the openocd name in settings.json is chanegd back to the previous value.

And yes, I saved it and even tried it with another editor. Why is my settings.json ...

Maybe here in the ADF forum are some Lyra-T users.

I have a Lyra-T (using WROVER-B) and I am trying to get JTAG debugging working on Windows. I have tried both VSCODE ane Eclipse. Both detect the chip via JTAG, but I don't get any step further.

Anyone here having more succes, or even can confirm ...

With ESP-IDF 4.0 a shortcut was installed in the start menu, which opened a command prompt with all environment variables set.
Is this one missing with IDF V4.2 ?
