VSCODE: purchased Wrover-kit, serial flashing does not work and JTAG flash/debug does not work

[espdorian]

I have added "loglevel 5" to the debug configuration. Pressed F5 (with 2 breakpoints configured) the application was executing (LED blinks serial output) but but it did not stop on a breakpoint.

Some noticable part from the log:

Code: Select all

2021-03-16 20:07:42,755 - Gdb - INFO - CONS: 'Thread 1 hit Temporary breakpoint 1, app_main () at ../main/blink.c:28\\n'

2021-03-16 20:07:42,757 - Debug Adapter (WriterThread) - DEBUG - Writing: {"type": "response", "request_seq": 2, "success": true, "command": "launch", "seq": 11}

This breakpoint, is not the one I had set, it is the first line within main() .
Here in the log it indicates "stopped", but it was not.
- The LED was blinking
- The serial "led on" "led off" message was output
- There was a "yellow arrow" displayed in VScode on the corresponding line, as if it was stopped
- The 'continue' button in the debug toolbas was active.
- Except for the 'stop' button, no buttons of the debug toolbar have any effect.

The situation is easy reproducable, press 'debug stop' -> toolbar disappears -> press F5 -> It looks as if it is stopped on the first line
within main(), but it isn't.

I have the exact same issue that you are experiencing at this moment, debugger stuck and application actually running and being monitored. I hope somebody can help

Ok I found something, reverting to version 0.6.1 of the esp-idf extension at least allows me to properly start a debug, I can step through the code and set breakpoints, however when I jump through the last breakpoint I can never pause the application again, thus I cannot set new breakpoints
