I am new to JTAG debugging with the ESP32 and when I start OpenOCD, the controller seems to be resetting indefinetely.
- macOS Big Sur v11.1, although also tried on Windows 10 and got the same output.
- OpenOCD v0.10.0-esp32-20210401
- ESP-IDF v4.3.1
- Board is ESP32 Devkit v1 with WROOM-32 module
No external hardware is connected. Only the 4 jtag pins and GND with jumpers between ESP32 and ESP-PROG. I also verified that the connections are correct.
Weird thing is the first time I tried it (on Windows 10) everything seemed to work correctly and I was able to hit a breakpoint in the program. Then, after I built and flashed the code again I could not debug anymore and since then it has stayed the same. I have also looked for other threads or forums for answers but haven't been able to solve the issue.
OpenOCD output after running openocd -f board/esp32-wrover-kit-3.3v.cfg on the ESP-IDF Terminal

^Cshutdown command invoked
Note that I changed the adapter speed to 10000 kHz instead of the default 20000 to see if it changed anything, with no luck.
