Hi.

I'm trying to seta debugging environment outside Ubuntu, that works really fine.

I tried using Windows, WsL and even docker and i have problems..

1. In Docker, when i try to create a gdbgui environment with monitor output (that's to say, i use idf.py gdbgui monitor), devices go crazy and my JTAG disconects
2. In WSL devices go extremely slow and openocd gives me frequent timeouts. I did ot try with monitor output.
3. In Windows by ESP-CMD openocd directly don't work cause it says drivers are wrong (although i followed their tutorial)

Is there a way to fix one of these 3 ways in order to use gdbgui with monitor in windows?

Did you try eclipse?
I use eclipse as development and debugging environment on windows and works fine.
I use it for S3 target but i don’t see any reason why it would not work for C3.
Here is the link to documentation
