Hi.
Very interesting…
Have you tried it yourself? What is your feedback?

Good Morning Sara,

Would you have sketch with Backtrace errors; I could try using “ESPCrashDecoder for Arduino IDE 2.x?”  Tought about creating some errors is an example sketch; not sure best way to go about creating backtrace errors.

Regards,
William

Good Morning,

Tried followling code:

void setup() {
  Serial.begin(115200);
  // This will cause a crash.
  int *p = NULL;
  *p = 10;
}

void loop() {
}

Exported compiled binary and placed in sketch folder.  Copied the ESPCrashDecoder to the Crash.ino sketch folder. Double clicked the ESPCrashDecoder.bat file. Web page for pasting backtrace opened. Pasted backtrace in window for backtrace:

Guru Meditation Error: Core  1 panic'ed (StoreProhibited). Exception was unhandled.

Exported Compiled Binary from Tools menu of Arduino IDE.

Backtrace generated ESPCrashDecoder.txt. Selected ESPCrashDecoder.out in Downloads folder. Blank backtrace html window. Size of ESPCrashDecode 0 KB. Left issue on ESPCrashDecoder Github issue page.

Must be doing somethink wrong; not sure if GDB has to be installed manually or it is part of the Arduino IDE (2.1.1). Unsure how GDB is used.

My apologies; user error, wrong board specified in ESPCrashDecoder.bat. Switched board compiling to ESP32 Dev Module, left .bat file set to ESP32. Works as advertized. Thank you!

First board used to compile was an ESP32 Pico D4; with .bat file set to ESP32.

Good Morning,

ESPCrashDecoder; ESP32 Core 2.0.11, getting ESP32 Pico D4 to work…

Thanks for the follow-up.

Good Afternoon,

ESP Crash Decoder for Arduino IDE 2.x.x; true plug and play; after sraight forward installation.  Developer’s Readme.md takes you step by step, easy install.  Using “esp-exception-decoder” in the Arduino IDE requires lastest Arduino IDE nightly build.  Accessing the tool press Control, Shift p; pop-up shows command paletter for Arduino IDE.  Follow the author’s readme for more detailed instructions.

Once an exception occurs; copy the exception, press control, shift,p, paste into Serial montor, command terminal. “esp-exception-decoder” will decode the exception!  Truely a joy to use; very easy to use!
