	Hello, I built my debugger more than a xear ago by milled PCB, so wire connection should be no problem, because everything worked well. No on my home PC, I m not sure but I believe I one time debugged ESP32 @ home, despit I can not debugg simple blink example. All setup is done as described in the tutorials vmicro. Output.txt is attached. Many thanks in advance, Christoph

	Thanks for the report. Can you update Visual Micro to the latest version available from the Download Page below, and see if this resolves the issue? https://www.visualmicro.com/page/Arduino-Visual-Studio-Downloads.aspx

	Thank you for your urgent response! Okay after update VS micro version I m getting error window Unable to start debugging. Unable to establish a connection to GDB. Debug output may contain more information.

	Thanks for the update, can you update the ESP32 board package to v2.0.3 or v2.0.4 as I believe this version has an issue with the GDB.exe packaged with it. The board package update will resolve this side of things as well.

	Thanks for the update, can you attach the log file from the below location: Code ugOpenOCD.log Can you also confirm the pins used in the sketch are not any of the JTAG pins (12,13,14,15)?

	Hello again and sorry for the big delay!! I got stuck in some other arduino project. Here is the desired file attached. Unfortunately I can not attach files anymore I will send via email and the link of this post. About the blink code, I can confirm only using #define LED_BUILTIN 2 and the code with digitalWrite() and delay()

	Thanks for the log and the confirmation. If you are uploading the sketch via the programmer, I suspect it isn't actually running (opening the serial monitor will prove if this is the case, as it will be constantly outputting errors/resetting). Can you upload the sketch using the USB-Serial connection directly to the ESP32, and then try attaching the debugger from Debug > Attach to Process?

	From my current understanding there is something different or incorrect with the bootloader.bin images uploaded when using the programmer in the 2.0+ versions of the ESP32 Board Packages. We are still investigating the fix for this. If you add a local board.txt to your project (vMicro > Add Code > Local board.txt), and paste the below content, it won't upload the bootloader (just sketch, app, partitions), which should allow the upload via programmer to work correctly: Code tools.openocd.program.pattern="{program.path}/{program.cmd}" {program.verbose} -s "{program.path}/share/openocd/scripts/" -f "interface/{openocddebugger}" -f "board/{upload.openocdscript}" -c "echo -n {**[vMicro] Uploading App :}" -c "telnet_port disabled; program {{runtime.platform.path}/tools/partitions/boot_app0.bin} 0xe000" -c "echo -n {[vMicro] Uploading Sketch :}" -c "program {{build.path}/{build.project_name}.bin} 0x10000" -c "echo -n {[vMicro]** Uploading Partitions :}" -c "program {{build.path}/{build.project_name}.partitions.bin} 0x8000 reset; shutdown"

	Added board.txt solved the problem as you described and programming via debugger is now working liked the common way. Thank you very much for your help Christoph

	Just to update on this, there was an issue in the 2.0.4 ESP32 Board Package which caused the bootloader issue. If you update it to 2.0.5, and then comment out the board.txt entry (put a # at the start of the line), it should then work as expected after rebuilding and uploading.
