Debugging sparkfun esp32-WROOM-32E with ESP-Prog

I cannot get started debugging this board no matter what I try. I have used Zellig to install the FDTI 0 driver and here is my platformio.ini file:

[env:sparkfun_esp32_iot_redboard]
platform = espressif32
board = sparkfun_esp32_iot_redboard
framework = arduino
monitor_speed = 115200
upload_protocol = esp-prog
debug_tool = esp-prog
debug_init_break = tbreak setup
lib_deps =
 SPI
 arduino-libraries/Arduino_JSON @ 0.1.0
 esphome/AsyncTCP-esphome@^2.1.0
 esphome/ESPAsyncWebServer-esphome@^3.1.0

The following is the list of problems in the debug window when I start the debugger:

Open On-Chip Debugger v0.11.0-esp32-20220706 (2022-07-06-15:48)

I would greatly appreciate some help with tracking down what I am doing wrong.

So that shows at least that you have loaded the right driver on your FTDI board because it gets recognized by OpenOCD, but it cannot connect to the board. What is your exactwiring? Does it match with https://medium.com/@manuel.bl/low-cost-esp32-in-circuit-debugging-dbbee39e508b? Have you tried using shorter or different cables and setting debug_speed = 500 in the platformio.ini to lower the frequency?
