After quite some pain I have a 99% reliable developing environment, slow, but almost reliable

The setup

Linux, because windows is spyware
esp32-c6 custom board with ES8388, actually producing sound
openocd started manually and connecting using USB to the above
GDB started in aclipse by following
https://docs.espressif.com/projects/esp ... -app-debug
there are a few quirks, ask me for details if needed
code that starts thread to manage a console + some gpio +wify + a pipeline to play sound

the above works, the issue is while debugging a specific part of sw, namely, if I break at the following function

: 1a.png (25.64 KiB) Viewed 7113 times

if I do a "step", the debugger complain that it cannot read the memory

: 1b.png (19.81 KiB) Viewed 7113 times

I already have the following in Startup -> Initialization commands

Code: Select all

mon reset halt
mon program_esp ${workspace_loc:wiradio/build/wiradio.bin} 0x10000 verify skip_loaded
set mem inaccessible-by-default off
maintenance flush register-cache

any other magic that need to be enabled ?

add

Code: Select all

-x build/gdbinit/gdbinit

in the COMMAND LINE of the gdb
