Unable to Debug ESP32, getting 'invalid command name "program_esp_bins" '

[pknessness]

Describe the bug
I am unable to debug with OpenOCD JTAG on a ESP32 Devkit-1. I am aware that the Devkit-1 does not come with JTAG, and have an external FT232H JTAG adapter, however with and without the adapter the error remains the same.

Debug: 25 1 command.c:81 script_debug(): command - echo DEPRECATED! use 'gdb port', not 'gdb_port'
User : 26 1 command.c:600 handle_echo(): DEPRECATED! use 'gdb port', not 'gdb_port'
Debug: 27 1 command.c:81 script_debug(): command - gdb port 3333
Debug: 28 1 command.c:81 script_debug(): command - echo DEPRECATED! use 'telnet port', not 'telnet_port'
User : 29 1 command.c:600 handle_echo(): DEPRECATED! use 'telnet port', not 'telnet_port'
Debug: 30 1 command.c:81 script_debug(): command - telnet port 4444
Debug: 31 1 command.c:81 script_debug(): command - echo DEPRECATED! use 'tcl port' not 'tcl_port'
User : 32 1 command.c:600 handle_echo(): DEPRECATED! use 'tcl port' not 'tcl_port'
Debug: 33 1 command.c:81 script_debug(): command - tcl port 6666
User : 34 1 command.c:530 command_run_line(): invalid command name "program_esp_bins"

To Reproduce
I built from source the espressif-ide and plugged in my esp32.
I changed my mode to debug and clicked debug and got the error.

Expected behavior
I assumed it would just go into debug mode. I tried running this command on an external terminal window:
~/.espressif/tools/openocd-esp32/v0.12.0-esp32-20251215/openocd-esp32/bin/openocd -f /home/~/tools/openocd-esp32/v0.12.0-esp32-20251215/openocd-esp32/share/openocd/scripts/interface/ftdi/esp_ftdi.cfg -c "transport select jtag" -f ~/.espressif/tools/openocd-esp32/v0.12.0-esp32-20251215/openocd-esp32/share/openocd/scripts/target/esp32.cfg -c "program_esp_bins ~/esp-workspace/ESPmote/build flasher_args.json verify reset" -d3
And I got a large rolling chunk of terminal that looked functional. I am not adept at gdb/cli debugging however, so I am attempting to be able to do so in eclipse. Is there a way I can see what command is being run in espressif-ide and change it?

Hi @pknessness,

Have you selected a board in the ESP Target dialog? First, you need to click on the gear icon next to it, then select the USB port with the connected board. It should identify that the connected board is an ESP32. After that, you will be able to select a board—choose ESP32 WROVER here. Please see the screenshot below:

That worked, thank you
