|
|
^^^^^^^
|
|
|
|
.. note::
|
|
|
|
It is recommended to first check if debugger works using :ref:`jtag-debugging-with-idf-py` or from :ref:`jtag-debugging-using-debugger-command-line` and then move to using Eclipse.
|
|
|
|
Eclipse is an integrated development environment (IDE) that provides a powerful set of tools for developing and debugging software applications. For ESP-IDF applications, `IDF Eclipse plugin <https://github.com/espressif/idf-eclipse-plugin>`_ provides two ways of debugging:
|
|
|
|
1. `ESP-IDF GDB OpenOCD Debugging <https://github.com/espressif/idf-eclipse-plugin/blob/master/docs/OpenOCD%20Debugging.md#esp-idf-gdb-openocd-debugging>`_
|
|
2. GDB Hardware Debugging
|
|
|
|
By default, Eclipse supports OpenOCD Debugging via the GDB Hardware Debugging plugin, which requires starting the OpenOCD server from the command line and configuring the GDB client from Eclipse to start with the debugging. This approach can be time-consuming and error-prone.
|
|
|
|
To make the debugging process easier, the IDF Eclipse plugin has a customized ESP-IDF GDB OpenOCD Debugging functionality. This functionality supports configuring the OpenOCD server and GDB client from within Eclipse. All the required configuration parameters will be pre-filled by the plugin, and you can start debugging with just a click of a button.
|
|
|
|
Therefore, it is recommended to use the `ESP-IDF GDB OpenOCD Debugging <https://github.com/espressif/idf-eclipse-plugin/blob/master/docs/OpenOCD%20Debugging.md#esp-idf-gdb-openocd-debugging>`_ via the IDF Eclipse plugin.
|
|
|
|
**GDB Hardware Debugging**
|
|
|
|
.. note::
|
|
This approach is recommended only if you are unable to debug using `ESP-IDF GDB OpenOCD Debugging <https://github.com/espressif/idf-eclipse-plugin/blob/master/docs/OpenOCD%20Debugging.md#esp-idf-gdb-openocd-debugging>`_ for some reason.
|
|
|
|
To install the ``GDB Hardware Debugging`` plugin, open Eclipse and select ``Help`` > ``Install`` New Software.
|
|
|
|
After installation is complete, follow these steps to configure the debugging session. Please note that some configuration parameters are generic, while others are project-specific. This will be shown below by configuring debugging for "blink" example project. If not done already, add this project to Eclipse workspace following `Eclipse Plugin <https://github.com/espressif/idf-eclipse-plugin/blob/master/README.md>`_. The source of :example:`get-started/blink` application is available in :idf:`examples` directory of ESP-IDF repository.
|
|
|
|
1. In Eclipse, go to ``Run`` > ``Debug Configuration``. A new window will open. In the left pane of the window, double-click ``GDB Hardware Debugging`` (or select ``GDB Hardware Debugging`` and press the ``New`` button) to create a new configuration.
|
|
|
|
2. In a form that will show up on the right, enter the ``Name:`` of this configuration, e.g. "Blink checking".
|
|
|
|
3. On the ``Main`` tab below, under ``Project:``, press the ``Browse`` button and select the ``blink`` project.
|
|
|
|
4. In the next line under ``C/C++ Application:``, press the ``Browse`` button and select the ``blink.elf`` file. If ``blink.elf`` is not there, it is likely that this project has not been built yet. Refer to the `Eclipse Plugin <https://github.com/espressif/idf-eclipse-plugin/blob/master/README.md>`_ for instructions.
|
|
|
|
5. Finally, under ``Build (if required) before launching`` click ``Disable auto build``.
|
|
|
|
A sample window with settings entered in points 1 - 5 is shown below.
|
|
|
|

|
:figclass: align-center
|
|
|
|
Configuration of GDB Hardware Debugging - Main tab
|
|
|
|
6. Click the ``Debugger`` tab. In field ``GDB Command``, enter ``{IDF_TARGET_TOOLCHAIN_PREFIX}-gdb`` to invoke the debugger.
|
|
|
|
7. Change the default configuration of the ``Remote host`` by entering ``3333`` under the ``Port number``.
|
|
|
|
Configuration entered in points 6 and 7 is shown on the following picture.
|
|
|
|
.. figure:: ../../../_static/hw-debugging-debugger-tab.jpg
|
|
:align: center
|

|
|
:figclass: align-center
|
|
|
|
Configuration of GDB Hardware Debugging - Debugger tab
|
|
|
|
8. The last tab that requires changing the default configuration is ``Startup``. Under ``Initialization Commands`` uncheck ``Reset and Delay (seconds)`` and ``Halt``. Then, in the entry field below, enter the following lines:
|
|
|
|
::
|
|
|
|
mon reset halt
|
|
maintenance flush register-cache
|
|
set remote hardware-watchpoint-limit 2
|
|
|
|
.. note::
|
|
To automatically update the image in the flash before starting a new debug session, add the following command lines to the beginning of the ``Initialization Commands`` textbox::
|
|
|
|
mon reset halt
|
|
mon program_esp ${workspace_loc:blink/build/blink.bin} 0x10000 verify
|
|
|
|
For description of ``program_esp`` command, see :ref:`jtag-upload-app-debug`.
|
|
|
|
9. Uncheck the ``Load image`` option under ``Load Image and Symbols``.
|
|
|
|
10. Further down on the same tab, establish an initial breakpoint to halt CPUs after they are reset by debugger. The plugin will set this breakpoint at the beginning of the function entered under ``Set break point at:``. Checkout this option and enter ``app_main`` in provided field.
|
|
|
|
11. Checkout ``Resume`` option. This will make the program to resume after ``mon reset halt`` is invoked per point 8. The program will then stop at breakpoint inserted at ``app_main``.
|
|
|
|
Configuration described in points 8 - 11 is shown below.
|
|
|
|
.. figure:: ../../../_static/hw-debugging-startup-tab.jpg
|
|
:align: center
|
|

|
|
|
|
If the ``Startup`` sequence looks convoluted and respective ``Initialization Commands`` are unclear, check :ref:`jtag-debugging-tip-debugger-startup-commands` for additional explanation.
|
|
|
|
12. If you have completed the :ref:`jtag-debugging-configuring-target` steps described above, so the target is running and ready to talk to debugger, go right to debugging by pressing ``Debug`` button. Otherwise press ``Apply`` to save changes, go back to :ref:`jtag-debugging-configuring-target` and return here to start debugging.
|
|
|
|
Once all configuration steps 1-12 are satisfied, the new Eclipse perspective called "Debug" will open, as shown in the example picture below.

If you are not quite sure how to use GDB, check :ref:`jtag-debugging-examples-eclipse` example debugging session in section :ref:`jtag-debugging-examples`.
|

|
|
|
|
.. _jtag-debugging-using-debugger-command-line:
|
|
|
|
Command Line
|
|
^^^^^^^^^^^^
|
|
|
|
1. Begin by completing the steps described under :ref:`jtag-debugging-configuring-target`. This is prerequisite to start a debugging session.
|
|
|
|
.. highlight:: bash
|
|
|
|
2. Open a new terminal session and go to the directory that contains the project for debugging, e.g.
|
|
|
|
::
|
|
|
|
cd ~/esp/blink
|
|
|
|
.. highlight:: none
|
|
|
|
3. When launching a debugger, you will need to provide a couple of configuration parameters and commands. Instead of entering them one by one in the command line, create a configuration file and name it ``gdbinit``:
|
|
|
|
::
|
|
|
|
target remote :3333
|
|
set remote hardware-watchpoint-limit 2
|
|
mon reset halt
|
|
maintenance flush register-cache
|
|
thb app_main
|
|
c
|
|
|
|
Save this file in the current directory.
|
|
|
|
For more details on what's inside ``gdbinit`` file, see :ref:`jtag-debugging-tip-debugger-startup-commands`
|
|
|
|
.. highlight:: bash
|
|
|
|
4. Now you are ready to launch GDB. Type the following in terminal:
|
|
|
|
::
|
|
|
|
{IDF_TARGET_TOOLCHAIN_PREFIX}-gdb -x gdbinit build/blink.elf
|
|
|
|
.. highlight:: none
|
|
|
|
5. If the previous steps have been done correctly, you will see a similar log concluded with the ``(gdb)`` prompt:
|
|
|
|
::
|
|
|
|
user-name@computer-name:~/esp/blink$ {IDF_TARGET_TOOLCHAIN_PREFIX}-gdb -x gdbinit build/blink.elf

Note the third-to-last line, which shows debugger halting at breakpoint established in ``gdbinit`` file at function ``app_main()``. Since the processor is halted, the LED should not be blinking. If this is what you see as well, you are ready to start debugging.
|
|
|
|
If you are not sure how to use GDB, check :ref:`jtag-debugging-examples-command-line` example debugging session in section :ref:`jtag-debugging-examples`.
|
|
|
|
|
|
.. _jtag-debugging-with-idf-py:
|
|
|
|
idf.py debug targets
|
|
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
|
|
|
|
It is also possible to execute the described debugging tools conveniently from ``idf.py``. These commands are supported:
|
|
|
|
1. ``idf.py openocd``
|
|
|
|
Runs OpenOCD in a console with configuration defined in the environment or via command line. It uses default script directory defined as ``OPENOCD_SCRIPTS`` environmental variable, which is automatically added from an Export script (``export.sh`` or ``export.bat``).
|
|
It is possible to override the script location using command line argument ``--openocd-scripts``.
|
|
|
|
.. include:: {IDF_TARGET_PATH_NAME}.inc
|
|
:start-after: idf-py-openocd-default-cfg
|
|
:end-before: ---
|
|
|
|
To configure the JTAG configuration for the current board, please use the environmental variable ``OPENOCD_COMMANDS`` or ``--openocd-commands`` command line argument. If none of the above is defined, OpenOCD is started with |idf-py-def-cfg| board definition.
|
|
|
|
|
|
2. ``idf.py gdb``
|
|
|
|
Starts the GDB the same way as the :ref:`jtag-debugging-using-debugger-command-line`, but generates the initial GDB scripts referring to the current project elf file.
|
|
|
|
|
|
3. ``idf.py gdbtui``
|
|
|
|
The same as `2`, but starts the gdb with ``tui`` argument, allowing for a simple source code view.
|
|
|
|
|
|
4. ``idf.py gdbgui``
|
|
|
|
Starts `gdbgui <https://www.gdbgui.com>`_ debugger frontend enabling out-of-the-box debugging in a browser window. To enable this option, run the install script with the "--enable-gdbgui" argument, e.g. ``install.sh --enable-gdbgui``.
|
|
|
|
|
|
You can combine these debugging actions on a single command line, allowing for convenient setup of blocking and non-blocking actions in one step. ``idf.py`` implements a simple logic to move the background actions (such as openocd) to the beginning and the interactive ones (such as gdb, monitor) to the end of the action list.
|
|
|
|
An example of a very useful combination is::
|
|
|
|
idf.py openocd gdbgui monitor
|
|
|
|
|
|
The above command runs OpenOCD in the background, starts `gdbgui <https://www.gdbgui.com>`_ to open a browser window with active debugger frontend and opens a serial monitor in the active console.
