esp.osdebug does nothing

[Tobinator32]

Hello,
according to the documentation it is possible to switch os debugging on by setting esp.osdebug to some of the constants. The Problem is, it is doing nothing. Are there any things i overlook?

@Tobinator32 I think the documentation might be incorrect... looking at the code it should be

esp.osdebug(output, level)

where output=None disables logging and anything else is supposed to be where the log is sent to. However the output parameter is ignored. It just has to be set to something (e.g. any non-None value, for example True).

So to use it, you must do

esp.osdebug(True, esp.LOG_VERBOSE)

But even for me that doesn't seem to enable any logging...

Just tested this on v1.19.1, it used to work. Looks like something's broken since the change to IDF 5.0.

Raised #12815

where can i download a version that was built with idf4.x ? Do you have a pointer for me? The 1.19 release from the micropython website doesnt seem to work

The working example I posted in #12815 was using 1.19.1 from the downloads page.

I've started a discussion #12031 to address the same issue. I've found a heck that makes it possible to see the console log via a custom uart.

I hope this is useful for you, but you will need to build your own firmware.

thanks will try it. As this is in an effort to resolve #12819. Have found a solution to get it running but eventially have to come up with a method to get logging info from lwip and wifi. Building own firmware is the least burden to take ;)
