Espressif's Eclipse debugger missing MCU Reset button (IEP-1400)

[Ignisuti]

Cross-posted because I'm not getting support on the official Espressif forum. Maybe someone here can help with this very basic question...

I recently switched from Arduino to using Eclipse for my ESP32 development. I am a long time fan of Eclipse.

Using the latest version of the Espressif Eclipse IDE with ESP32-S3-WROOM-1.

I can debug, step in and out of code just fine, but I've noticed there is no button to reset the MCU as I've seen in other versions of Eclipse that I've used in the past.

Is this normal for the Espressif version of Eclipse?

Hi @Ignisuti,

Apologies for missing your question on the ESP forum. We've had a significant influx of issues raised on GitHub recently after the holidays, and it’s taking some time to respond to everyone. Thank you for your patience!

Eclipse removed this button a while ago, as this option is now available by right-clicking on the thread during a debug session:

However, you can add this button back by installing the Embedded C/C++ GDB JTAG Debugging plugin. To do so, please follow these steps:

• Click Help in the IDE, then select Install New Software....

• In the Work With: box, enter the URL (In the Espressif IDE it should be available in the list by default):
  https://dl.espressif.com/dl/idf-eclipse-plugin/updates/latest/

• The list of available items will populate:
  

• select Embedded C/C++ GDB JTAG Debugging.

• Click Next twice to complete the installation.

Let me know if you have any questions!
