ESP32-C3 JTAG Debug

🚀 Master JTAG Debugging with ESP32-C3 & OpenOCD! 🌟

Course Headline: Unlock the Power of Debugging: Master JTAG Skills with ESP32-C3 and OpenOCD!

Welcome to the ESP32-C3 JTAG Debug Course, where you'll embark on a comprehensive journey into the realm of debugging using the renowned OpenOCD tool alongside GDB. This course is specifically tailored for those who wish to gain in-depth knowledge and practical experience in JTAG debugging for embedded systems.

Course Overview: This course focuses on how to effectively use GDB to implement JTAG debugging for ESP32-C3 firmware software through OpenOCD. We will dive deep into the essential GDB commands that are crucial for a thorough understanding of JTAG debugging, ensuring you can apply these skills in real-world scenarios.

What You'll Learn:

• Breakpoints (🔧): Master the art of adding and managing break points to halt code execution at strategic points, inspect variables, and troubleshoot issues.
• Watch Points (👀): Observe the behavior of specific variables in real-time as your program runs.
• Step/Next/Until (🚶‍♂️➡️⏸️): Debug your code step by step, ensuring precise control over program execution.
• Print and Display Commands (📝): Output variable values and automatically display variables' values.
• Examine Command (🔎): Analyze variables based on their memory addresses.
• Ptype/Whatis (🧐): Identify the type of a variable without modifying its value.
• Backtrace/Frame/Where (🔍): Navigate through the stack to understand the call hierarchy and current function context.
• Jump Command (🚀): Skip or repeat sections of code, or execute different code paths as needed.
• Set Command (⚙️): Modify variable values for testing purposes.
• Define Command (📝➡️🎨): Create custom GDB commands to enhance your debugging experience.

Important Notes:

• This course is designed for an ESP32-C3 USB JTAG board, not a standard ESP32 board. Make sure you have the correct hardware for these lessons (more details in lecture 4).

By the end of this course, you'll have a solid understanding of JTAG debugging with ESP32-C3 using OpenOCD and GDB. You'll be equipped to trace through code, inspect variables, and bring clarity to complex embedded systems with confidence.
