OpenOCD doesn't automatically hook up to CPU_1 after chip reset in post 20200709 versions. (OCD-373) #160
Description
Environment
- Development Kit: ESP32-DevKitC
- Module or chip used: ESP32-WROOM-32
- Debug Adapter: FT232H
- OpenOCD version: 20210401
- Operating System: Windows 10
- Using an IDE?: Eclipse
- OpenOCD command line: openocd -c "set ESP_SEMIHOST_BASEDIR g:\semihost\jwt_auth_roles" -f board\esp32-wrover-kit-3.3v.cfg
- JTAG Clock: default
- ESP-IDF version: v4.3
Problem Description
I have a project, based on modified restful_server example with semihosting to upload web files from PC. It was working fine with old IDF v4.2 (OpenOCD v20200709), but after update to 4.3 (OpenOCD v20210401) files are not uploading or only part of them is uploading. After some investigation I found the problem is in OpenOCD, I tested all versions after v20200709 and in all of them I need to restart OpenOCD after every reflash/reset of ESP32 chip, because it doesn't hook up to esp32.cpu1 during chip reset.
