Description

The debug adapter fails to run which seems to be because its using the /usr/bin/openocd version and not the one stored in the .espressif directory.

From within the terminal of vscode running esp-idf:

OpenOCD Exit with non-zero error code 1
[Stopped] : OpenOCD Server

Debug Message

none

Other Steps to Reproduce

Starting openocd on the command line openocd -f board/esp32c6-builtin.cfg -c "adapter serial 40:4C:CA:43:1C:AC" starts openocd without issues.

Then when using the gdbtarget it fails to start openocd (same issue) but because there is an instance already started via the command line it connects to that one and opens the debug at app_main() with the little buttons (continue/jump/etc) being presented.

I have checked existing issues, online documentation and the Troubleshooting Guide

It seems that is the issue of vscode with environment variables. It doesn't pre append to env variables like PATH so the /usr/bin/openocd is used instead.
