Debugging ESP32 S3 using built-in jtag

Hi,

I’m attempting to use the built-in jtag debugger with a ESP32-S3-DevKitC-1, unfortunately I’m running into a problem. According to this, the issue should be solved, but I’m getting the following error:

I’m using the platform version 5.0, which, if I’m not mistaken has that fix mentioned above.

Just an update:

The ESP needed to be in the bootloader. For whatever reason the program it came with would not enable jtag (possibly because it was using cdc uart?)

What do you mean by “ESP needed to be in the bootloader”. How did you do this?

Hold boot button, press reset, release boot button? ESP32-S3-DevKitC-1 v1.1 - ESP32-S3 - — ESP-IDF Programming Guide latest documentation

Try this in esp-idf 5.0

change in the file esp32-bidge.cfg
