I am able to flash the MCU, but I am unable to debug. I have been trying to get the debugging to work for many days and read a lot of the Espressif documentation, but none seem to help. Any help is greatly appreciated. Thank you!

@Shu244 can you explain your jtag connection?

https://docs.espressif.com/projects/esp-idf/en/stable/esp32c3/api-guides/jtag-debugging/configure-builtin-jtag.html#configure-esp32-c3-built-in-jtag-interface

You need a breakout cable like this: https://www.adafruit.com/product/4448

Shu244 · 2025-01-12T20:27:55Z

Hi @erhankur thank you for taking a look. I was reading this doc

The quickest and most convenient way to start with JTAG debugging is through a USB cable connected to the D+/D- USB pins of ESP32-C3. No need for an external JTAG adapter and extra wiring/cable to connect JTAG to ESP32-C3.

I assumed that this means I can use the existing onboard micro USB on the dev board for debugging. Is this not the case?

Thinking about it more, I suppose the USB is connected to the USB-UART bridge and connected to UART pins rather than the MCU's USB D-/D+ pins. I wish the documents were a little more clear about explicitly needing a separate USB wire.

erhankur · 2025-01-16T11:27:58Z

@Shu244 do you still need some help from our side?

Shu244 · 2025-01-19T03:08:50Z

Sorry for the delay @erhankur . I am still having a lot of trouble trying to get the debugger to work.

The following is the output when I clear the flash and try to start the debugger:

Before debugging, you first need to load the application. How do you do that?
I suggest starting with the hello-world example from the command line within the ESP-IDF environment. Then, once you’re sure your hw and sw setup is ready, switch to the IDE and try debugging there. After that, it’s mainly a matter of playing with the IDE settings.

From one terminal

cd hello_world
idf.py set-target esp32c3
idf.py flash
idf.py openocd

From the other terminal

idf.py gdb
# idf.py gdbgui or idf.py gdbtui depends on your choice

Shu244 · 2025-01-21T03:13:20Z

Hi @erhankur I am using VS Code with ESP IDF extension. I am starting with the Blinky example and was able to flash the MCU and see the LED blinking. I feel confident the hardware and software is now set up properly. To start debugging, I am simply using the debug button in the IDE.

erhankur · 2025-01-21T23:10:37Z

Can you share your settings.json?

In the meantime you can add "idf.openOcdDebugLevel": 3, and send us OpenOCD logs. You should see the logs at the output tab.

Shu244 · 2025-01-22T16:33:50Z

@erhankur here is my settings.json:

{
    "C_Cpp.intelliSenseEngine": "default",

    "files.associations": {

    },
    "idf.flashType": "UART"
}

@Shu244 Thanks for the log but I don't see any error. What happens when you start debugging? What is the error you get?
Did you add a breakpoint to the app_main and try to step from there? Please share more details so that we can help you.

Shu244 · 2025-01-22T17:15:21Z

@erhankur yes I have a break point set, the debugger simply never starts:

erhankur · 2025-01-23T10:08:38Z

And any logs in the termninal/ debug console?

@brianignacio5 could you please help?

Shu244 · 2025-01-24T16:57:25Z

@erhankur the debug console had this log:

From one terminal

cd hello_world
idf.py set-target esp32c3
idf.py flash
idf.py openocd

From the other terminal

idf.py gdb
# idf.py gdbgui or idf.py gdbtui depends on your choice

Please try debugging it this way. I wonder if you will still see a GDB error.

I don't know the exact reason yet but seems you are not alone. https://stackoverflow.com/questions/78855046/esp32-gdb-debugging-error-on-m1-mac-dyld-missing-symbol-called
