I was about to order an Olimex ARM-USB-OCD-H per your suggestion, however: I’m looking at the ESP8266 tutorial here:

I realize the Bus Pirate and USB Blaster are not really mainstream debuggers, but since they are listed as options, I was hoping to get them to work – at least the USB Blaster. The following debug interfaces are available: I also tried creating a custom file with explicit settings, but same result.įwiw – I also tried my Bus Pirate, also not working:Ĭ:\SysGCC\esp8266\esp8266-bsp\OpenOCD\bin\openocd.exe -f interface/buspirate.cfg -f target/esp8266.cfgĮrror: The specified debug interface was not found (buspirate)
#ALTERA USB BLASTER DRIVER DRIVER#
I’m certain that it is there, as not only is it listed in Device Manager, but the VisualGDB USB Driver Tool shows it with the matching Vendor ID and Device from the config file. Info : No lowlevel driver configured, will try them all Trst_and_srst separate srst_gates_jtag trst_push_pull srst_open_drain connect_deassert_srst Warn : Transport “jtag” was already selected Info : only one transport option autoselect ‘jtag’ Warn : Adapter driver ‘usb_blaster’ did not declare which transports it allows assuming legacy JTAG-only When pressing the “Test Settings”, I see this error:Ĭ:\SysGCC\esp8266\esp8266-bsp\OpenOCD\bin\openocd.exe -f interface/altera-usb-blaster.cfg -f target/esp8266.cfg My real interest is the ESP8266, but I don’t have any of the listed programming interfaces (I’m considering the Segger J-Link) – but in the meantime I am selecting “interface/altera-bus-blaster.cfg” I understand in concept how VisualGDB works, as I’ve been able to single-step on my MSP430.

I’m still on day one of my evaluation… 🙂
