OpenOCD GDB Server Quit Unexpectedly. See gdb-server output for more details

Hi all,
I am trying to write some code on the daisypod.
I managed to wrangle the DSP effect “multieffect” examples and build something.
I have some JUCE code which is a nice chorus delay VST plugin I built. I am trying to port it over to the daisy.

I tried declaring a delay buffer(s) on the stack but looks like I ran out of memory so I tried the “heap”. I dont quite know how much memory the daisy pod has. This is a global variable

std::vector <float> mCircularBufferLeft(SR);

The audio callback looks like this :

void AudioCallback(AudioHandle::InterleavingInputBuffer  in,
                   AudioHandle::InterleavingOutputBuffer out,
                   size_t                                size)
{
    float outl, outr, inl, inr;

    Controls();

    //audio
    for(size_t i = 0; i < size; i += 2)
    {
        inl = in[i];
        inr = in[i + 1];

        switch(mode)
        {
            case CHRDEL: GetReverbSample(outl, outr, inl, inr); break;
            case DEL: GetDelaySample(outl, outr, inl, inr); break;
            case COR: GetChorusSample(outl, outr, inl, inr); break;
            case PHR: GetPhaserSample(outl, outr, inl, inr); break;
            case OCT: GetOctaveSample(outl, outr, inl, inr); break;
            case WAYLOCHORUS: GetWayloChorusSample(outl, outr, inl, inr); break;\
            default: outl = outr = 0;
        }

        // left out
        out[i] = outl;

        // right out
        out[i + 1] = outr;
    }

I attempted to erase the buffer in the main function

int main(void)
{
    // initialize pod hardware and oscillator daisysp module
    float sample_rate;
    
    float value = 0.0f;
    
    fill(mCircularBufferLeft.begin(), mCircularBufferLeft.end(), value);

I am trying something very simple in the processing function just writing to the buffer and reading back.

void GetWayloChorusSample(float &outl, float &outr, float inl, float inr){

            

            mCircularBufferLeft[mCircularBufferWriteHead] = inl;
            mDelayReadHead = mCircularBufferWriteHead - 2000;
            if (mDelayReadHead < 0){
            mDelayReadHead += SR;
            }

            // // get the integer part of the read head
            // int readHeadX = (int)mDelayReadHead;
            // // get the part of the readHead after the decimal point
            // float readHeadFloat = mDelayReadHead - readHeadX;
            // // next integer sample position
            // int readHeadX1 = readHeadX + 1;

            //float delay_sample_Left = linInterp(mCircularBufferLeft[readHeadX], mCircularBufferLeft[readHeadX1], readHeadFloat);
             
            float delay_sample_Left = mCircularBufferLeft[mDelayReadHead];      
            outl = drywet*inl + (1- drywet*delay_sample_Left);
            outr = drywet*inr;


              mCircularBufferWriteHead ++;
            if (mCircularBufferWriteHead == SR){
            mCircularBufferWriteHead = 0;
        }
              
}

The code builds but dialing up that effect “case” crashes the machine.

I connected the debugger tool I purchased .

I have vscode and windows.

Pressing F5 it starts up in “debug” mode but crashes like this:
OpenOCD GDB Server Quit Unexpectedly. See gdb-server output for more details.

My launch json looks like this

  "configurations": [
    
    {
      "configFiles": [
        "interface/stlink.cfg",
        "target/stm32h7x.cfg"
      ],

      "type": "cortex-debug"
    }
  ],
  "version": "0.2.0"
}

I tried editing the “showDevDebugOutput” which seemed to have a boolean true which the editor told me was not allowed .

Not sure what to do .
A longer look at the code and what I eventually want to try is here …

Thanks for your help and replies Sean

You should be able to do something in a way similar to that used in the multi effect delay line - it looks like it’s implemented as a circular buffer too.
