	Hi Visual micro I’m using Esp32 Wrover kit 4.1 board and I would like debugging it with hardware debugger on the board and with external J-Link, but I can’t due to GDB error I’m using Visual Studio 2022 with Visual Micro ver2021.1105.2213 on Windows10 64 bit running on VMWare I premise that I have done the following: - install WinUSB driver for dualRS232 Interface0 (Interface1 use FTDI driver as default) - install WinUSB driver for Jlink debugger (see attached image) - I can succesfully program the board (vMicro>Uploader>Hardware Programmer) both with “F2232H Dual RS232” and with J-Link, so no doubt about J-Link connections and board functionalities - succesfully debugging the board with VSCode+PIO using only the board (no J-Link) (see attached image) Jumper configuration when using “F2232H Dual RS232” mode (see attached image) Connection when using J-Link debugger (USB cable connected during testing!) (see attached image) I selected this configuration (see attached image) after programming the board (using the serial (interface1) or the hardware debugger) the code starts: led blinking correctly so I try start debugging with Debug>Attach to process but GDB crash trying with “F2232H Dual RS232” --> GDB error: unable to connect (see attached image) attached build log e debugger log files trying with J-LINK --> GDB error: exit code 1 (see attached image) attached build log e debugger log files Thanks in advance Luca

	Thanks for the report and all of the detail. If you try the ESP32 DEVKIT debug option for the on-board debugger this may help when using the onboard debugger. If this does not help, we are currently working on updates to ensure the WROVER-E modules are correctly supported with a newer version of OpenOCD. We will update when the newer version is available.

	thanks Simon for the quick reply. Unfortunately I tried using the ESP32 DEVKIT debug option but got the same error. I would like to ask you for more details: 1) is the issue related only to visual studio 2022? 2) is the issue related to the PSRAM presence in the WROVER-E module ? 3) in your answer you did not mention anything about using j-link Should actual version of the OpenOCD work with J-Link and Wrover-E module ? 4) today how can I debug the ESP-Wrover-Kit 4.1 board with hardware debugger and Visual Micro ? Maybe using a ESP-WROOM module as hardware debugger ? https://www.visualmicro.com/pics/ESP32DEVKIT_To_Board_Wiring_Diagram.png Thanks in advance Luca

	Thanks for the update. We are still trying to resolve issues with the WROVER-E chips, which are now fitted to these boards (as shown in your photos). The ESP wiring diagram you have mentioned is using the WROVER-KIT board as the debugger for an external ESP-WROOM module, so the opposite of what you need. You can try the latest release (21.11.08-19) available at the top of the board below, and you will need to add the options mentioned on the post in a local board.txt to try the changes: https://www.visualmicro.com/forums/YaBB.pl?board=VS_ARDUINO_EXT_RELEASES If this does not resolve the issue, we hope to have another update available in the coming days to resolve this.

	Great ! with last VM update hardware debugging is working on ESP-Wrover-Kit using both external J-Link and and internal "F2232H Dual RS232" mode Anyway some things still need to be fixed: - press the pause button freeze VS2022: I need to kill OpenOCD process to un-freeze the IDE - breakpoint stepping (F10, F11, ...) is quite slow Good job Simon, thank you very much I'm waiting for new updates
