Cut and Pasted the above to the `Exception Decoder
and exception decoder just outputs "Decode Failed" noting else.

Any ideas what I am missing?

[PlastiBots]

Ditto for me... Could only get v1.0.6 working (latest does not show on menu in Windows 10).

[botletics]

Yup, same, I get "Decode failed" as well.

[thomastech]

Decode failed.
Arduino IDE 1.8.5, ESP Core 2.4.1. Win10 64 bit pro.
I tried all the posted remedies I found, including downgrading to v1.0.6. This issue seems like it has affected a lot of installations.

EDIT1: No more Decode Failed! My mistake was that the Arduino IDE was open when I unzipped the v1.0.6 (downgrade) jar to the destination directory. Because the v1.1.0 jar file was already open by Arduino the copy failed. No warnings either, just not successfully copied.

EDIT2: Looks like fixing the Decode Fail issue isn't the end of my troubles. As others have reported, the decoded stack has suspicious entries because the provided file names and line numbers are often nonsense. Not sure what to trust and what to ignore.

EDIT3: It seems that the invalid filenames / line numbers issue was fixed in EspExceptionDecoder version 1.1.0. But I can't get that version to run.

This problem seems to be affecting a lot of users. We need some help from the developers on how to get the latest version to run.

[Tsaukpaetra]

Yeah, at least to provide a more useful error message like "Decode failed: Unable to open blargh.bin" or whatever.

Oh well...

The ESP8266 decoder tool issue is ESP-related, and is up to the maintainer of that tool. As for the exception errors, it could be insufficient power supply or wiring.
