# Semihosting VFS driver example
|
|
|
|
(See the README.md file in the upper level 'examples' directory for more information about examples.)
|
|
|
|
This example demonstrates how to use semihosting VFS driver with ESP32. Example does the following steps:
|
|
|
|
1. Uses `esp_vfs_semihost_register` function to register exposed host directory in VFS, enabling C standard library and POSIX functions to be used.
|
|
2. Redirects `stdout` from the UART to the file on the host using `freopen`.
|
|
3. Prints several messages to the redirected.
|
|
4. Switches back to UART `stdout` using `freopen`.
|
|
5. Opens text file on the host.
|
|
6. Reads the file and prints its content on stdout.
|
|
|
|
## How to use example
|
|
|
|
### Hardware and tools required
|
|
|
|
This example requires a development board with JTAG interface, for example:
|
|
|
|
- ESP32-Wrover-Kit, ESP32-Ethernet-Kit for ESP32
|
|
- ESP32-S2-Kaluga for ESP32-S2
|
|
- For ESP32-C3 or ESP32-S3, any board with the built-in USB interface (USB_SERIAL_JTAG)
|
|
- ESP-Prog as an external JTAG adapter with any other development board
|
|
|
|
This example also requires [OpenOCD](https://docs.espressif.com/projects/esp-idf/en/latest/api-guides/jtag-debugging/index.html#run-openocd) to be set up.
|
|
|
|
### Build and flash
|
|
|
|
1. Replace PORT with serial port name and run this command to build and flash the example:
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
idf.py -p PORT flash
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
See the Getting Started Guide for full steps to configure and use ESP-IDF to build projects.
|
|
|
|
|
|
2. Go to `data` subdirectory of the project and run OpenOCD.
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
cd data
|
|
openocd -f board/esp32-wrover-kit-3.3v.cfg
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Note that you need to use the correct configuration file for your board after `-f` option in the above command. Please refer to the list of configuration files available for [ESP32](https://docs.espressif.com/projects/esp-idf/en/latest/esp32/api-guides/jtag-debugging/tips-and-quirks.html#jtag-debugging-tip-openocd-configure-target), [ESP32-S2](https://docs.espressif.com/projects/esp-idf/en/latest/esp32s2/api-guides/jtag-debugging/tips-and-quirks.html#jtag-debugging-tip-openocd-configure-target), [ESP32-S3](https://docs.espressif.com/projects/esp-idf/en/latest/esp32s3/api-guides/jtag-debugging/tips-and-quirks.html#jtag-debugging-tip-openocd-configure-target), [ESP32-C3](https://docs.espressif.com/projects/esp-idf/en/latest/esp32c3/api-guides/jtag-debugging/tips-and-quirks.html#jtag-debugging-tip-openocd-configure-target).
|
|
|
|
3. With OpenOCD still running, open another console or terminal and run IDF monitor there:
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
idf.py monitor
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
(To exit the serial monitor, type ``Ctrl-]``.)
|
|
|
|
### Overriding the base directory for semihosting
|
|
|
|
When the example application calls `esp_vfs_semihost_register("/host")`, the path `/host` on the ESP target is mapped to the semihosting _base directory_. By default, this is the directory where OpenOCD program is started from. In the instructions above, OpenOCD is started in `data` subdirectory of the example project.
|
|
|
|
When debugging with Xtensa based SoCs (ESP32, ESP32-S2, ESP32-S3) it is possible to override the semihosting base directory using an additional flag of `openocd` command. For example, on Linux and macOS:
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
openocd -c "set ESP_SEMIHOST_BASEDIR $IDF_PATH/examples/storage/semihost_vfs/data" -f board/esp32-wrover-kit-3.3v.cfg
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
or on Windows:
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
openocd -c "set ESP_SEMIHOST_BASEDIR %IDF_PATH%/examples/storage/semihost_vfs/data" -f board/esp32-wrover-kit-3.3v.cfg
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
The above command will set `ESP_SEMIHOST_BASEDIR` variable to `examples/storage/semihost_vfs/data` subdirectory of ESP-IDF. With that, it is not necessary to run OpenOCD from that specific directory.
|
|
|
|
> Note: This feature is not available for RISC-V based SoCs (ESP32-C3, ESP32-H2). To set the semihosting base directory, change into the required directory before running `openocd` command.
|
|
|
|
## Example output
|
|
|
|
There are two outputs produced by example:
|
|
|
|
1. The example creates and writes `esp32_stdout.txt` file in the `data` directory of the project:
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
W (274) example: Switched to semihosted stdout
|
|
Semihosted stdout write 0
|
|
Semihosted stdout write 1
|
|
Semihosted stdout write 2
|
|
...
|
|
Semihosted stdout write 98
|
|
Semihosted stdout write 99
|
|
W (274) example: Switch to UART stdout
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
2. The example reads [data/host_file.txt](data/host_file.txt) and prints its contents to the serial console:
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
W (274) example: Switch to semihosted stdout
|
|
W (274) example: Switched back to UART stdout
|
|
I (274) example: Wrote 2798 bytes
