Debuggung ESP32-C6 with external JTAG probe

[dimitar.kunchev]

I am new to ESP platform and this might be the wrong question but I am at a loss how to approach this.

I am trying to debug some code on ESP32-C6 (using the DevKit). It involves light sleep mode. Unfortunately, any attempt to debug with the built-in USB JTAG fails because it is disabled in this state. So I am trying to get an external JTAG probe worikng. I have purchased ESP-PROG kit for the purpose. However, openocd can't recognize the flash size ("Failed to get flash maps" etc; bank 0 is at size zero). I can't find a solution online - looks like everyone uses the built-in USB JTAG debugger.

How should I approach debugging light-sleep related problems? Is there a way to get openocd to recognize the flash size? Or there is another approach in this case at all?

If you are using an outdated version of OpenOCD, that can create this problem.

OpenOCD 0.12, shipped with the ESP tools. Good call, considering I have another (older) version installed, but I verified that I used the correct one.
