debug error execve failed: Exec format error when debugging esp32-c6-devkitm1-1

[schoko11]

Hi, this might not be typically related to espflash, as this happens also with probe-rs, but hopefully someone can help me out

I am using Linux mint..

1.) installed according to https://docs.espressif.com/projects/rust/book/getting-started/index.html
2.) esp-generate with espflash (C6, only the two recomended options for espflash and ZED integration, because that's my code editor )

doing a cargo run --release (with the devkit plugged in via USB or UART it does not matter) is working nicely

when starting the debugger in ZED from fn Main

Checking latest version of CodeLLDB...
Console is in 'commands' mode, prefix expressions with '?'.

file esptest3_espflash gives a

esptest3_espflash: ELF 32-bit LSB executable, UCB RISC-V, RVC, soft-float ABI, version 1 (GNU/Linux), statically linked, with debug_info, not stripped

so this could be because of a wrong platform ???

or has it to do with my shebang somehow messed up ?

permissions of esptest3_espflash in debug folder:
-rwxrwxr-x

Thanks!

espflash doesnt allow debugging, you should use probe-rs for that https://probe.rs/docs/tools/debugger/
