Hi @barbiani could you please share which chip you are using, and provide some logs?

You can add "idf.openOcdDebugLevel": 3 to settings.json to collect verbose logs

Hi. Forgot to mention that is the P4.

Last try, a month ago, debug was ok. Today it is failing. I can flash it though.

Thanks for the info, for p4 it might be best to try with newer version. Would you be able to build from the master branch in this repository and try again using that openocd binary?

Alternatively, we would need to see some different logs/screenshots to address the original issue, as the verbose logs show a different one.
