trying to debug waveshare esp32-c6-dev-kit-n8
Posted: Tue Nov 11, 2025 3:32 pm
I am using the blink example. I set my board type to ESP32C6 DEV MODULE. I compile and I can see it run. I change the delays and I can see the different blink rates. Now, I want to debug and set breakpoints. when I do that, I see the following:
