ESP32-S3 platformio unified debugger not working

[dvankley]

I'm using a ESP32-S3-MINI-1U-N4R2 on a custom board and trying to get a basic PlatformIO hello world to work with the debugger with no success.

The project I'm using is https://github.com/platformio/platform-espressif32/tree/master/examples/espidf-hello-world. I've added

while (1) {
    printf("Test...\n");
    vTaskDelay(1000 / portTICK_PERIOD_MS);
}

before the restart at the bottom to try to avoid situations where the program finishes running and resets before the debugger attaches.

I'm attempting to use the built-in debug probe on the main ESP32-S3 USB port (GPIO19-20 on this module). I believe the wiring is correct because I am able to use the "Upload and Monitor" target to flash the board and watch output successfully. I am also able to flash and debug pure ESP-IDF projects successfully. I'm primarily using CLion but see the same results with VS Code.

My platformio.ini is:

[env:test]
platform = platformio/espressif32
framework = espidf
monitor_speed = 115200
board = esp32-s3-devkitc-1
board_upload.flash_size = 4MB
upload_protocol = esp-builtin
debug_speed = 1000
;debug_init_break = thb app_main
build_type = debug

When I try to debug with PlatformIO with a breakpoint at https://github.com/platformio/platform-espressif32/blob/master/examples/espidf-hello-world/src/hello_world_main.c#L21, I see the following output:

PlatformIO: Initialization completed
Note: automatically using hardware breakpoints for read-only addresses.
The target architecture is set to "auto" (currently "xtensa").
PlatformIO: Resume the execution to `debug_init_break = thb app_main`
PlatformIO: More configuration options -> https://bit.ly/pio-debug

At that point, I see the program appear to break at 0x40041a7c of a diassembled version of the binary. Resuming from that point produces no further output.

Hardware resetting the board produces another illusory break at 0x40000401 and an infinite loop of:

Info : [esp32s3.cpu0] Debug controller was reset.
Info : [esp32s3.cpu0] Core was reset.
Info : [esp32s3.cpu0] Debug controller was reset.
Info : [esp32s3.cpu0] Core was reset.

I've tried a variety of configurations suggested by forums and AI with no success.
Any input would be appreciated.

Hi @dvankley. The error messages in the log don’t say anything in particular. It just looks like a basic wiring/connection issue. But since you mentioned it uploads the binary via built-in JTAG just fine, that makes the issue even more obscure. Could you share the logs of a successful upload here?

[dvankley]

Thanks for the quick response!

[valeros]

Thanks for the details. There are still similar error messages like Error: Unexpected OCD_ID = 00000000 in the upload logs, even though it looks successful. I just tried to debug an official ESP32S3-based dev-kit via the built-in JTAG on my machine and it worked just fine. Do you have any breakpoints set in the IDE before launching a new debug session?

[dvankley]

I just tried to debug an official ESP32S3-based dev-kit via the built-in JTAG on my machine and it worked just fine.

Hm, so it should work. Anything notably different between your platform.ini and mine? I've seen some posts on the internet suggesting different versions of tool-openocd-esp32 or platform/espressif32 might produce better results; anything to that?

[dvankley]

Do you have any breakpoints set in the IDE before launching a new debug session?

I've tried it with and without IDE breakpoints and debug_init_break enabled. I am aware that based on chip limitations I should really only ever have one breakpoint set in the IDE if I'm going to use the "step" debugger command.

[valeros]

Hm, could you try launching a new debug session using CLI? Just open the terminal in the IDE and run the following command:

pio debug --interface=gdb -- -x .pioinit

What's the output?

Thanks, that Python error in the log looks quite suspicious. There is a discrepancy in OpenOCD versions though. In the first log you used Open On-Chip Debugger v0.11.0-esp32-20220706 (2022-07-06-15:49), but in the last one I see Open On-Chip Debugger v0.12.0-esp32-20250707 (2025-07-06-17:36). How did that happened?

I also noticed you're using Python 3.13. Is there any chance you could try a bit older Python like 3.11 maybe?

How did that happened?

I was getting Python errors trying to run the CLI command you asked for. I ended up reinstalling PlatformIO to resolve them, that may have changed some of the versions. I'll try the VSCode debug again on the off chance the reinstall affected that.
