Not able to flash picoW using picoprobe

[peterharperuk]

Sorry, should have made it clear it was in that output...

$ openocd -v
Open On-Chip Debugger 0.12.0-g4257276 (2023-01-27-10:19)

I wouldn't expect it to make any difference but I don't understand how you've got a different version to me.

[peterharperuk]

Thanks - I can reproduce the problem with that version. @P33M should our rp2040 version of openocd work?

I think we'd always advise people to use the officially-supported (and updated) https://github.com/raspberrypi/pico-setup-windows rather than downloading binaries from 3rd-party websites which may be old and outdated.

I use picoprobe to debug pico w. I don't use Windows however

Thanks for clearing that out @peterharperuk .However I have to use windows only, where am facing challenges.

[peterharperuk]

Did you use this? https://github.com/raspberrypi/pico-setup-windows
I just tried it and it seemed to work to program picow_blink on a pico w

[P33M]

You have established a debug session successfully, so there's nothing in this repo that can change to fix it.

Yes I installed from above reference only.

Please check you are using the right version of openocd It appears to be a bit different to mine?

May i know which version of openocd you are using. i will try these suggestion as well and update here.

[Shikamru]

found the solution. here raspberrypi/openocd#12.
Closing the ticket. Thanks :)

[peterharperuk]

Hmm, I would like to know where you got that old version of openocd from

Sure , am sharing the link below https://www.waveshare.com/wiki/Raspberry_Pi_Debug_Probe . There is part of Openocd installation for windows. From there I took it
