I have burned the fuse to use the JTAG pins for debugging with ESP-PRO on the ESP32-S3-Devkit and have confirmed correct wiring and continuity of the connections. What other hidden details are there for getting the in-circuit working?
Instead of shotgun-debugging the problem by trying random “missing / hidden things”, it’d be better if we saw your platformio.ini, a picture of diagram of your wireup and the error message in the “Debug Console” when you start debugging.
fair enough. Just one moment and I will post it ALL.

line and it won’t break at a breakpoint?
It sort of went into never-neverland.
this line in platformio.ini
debug_init_break = tbreak setup
is putting the breakpoint one line before void(setup() in my code.
I changed that and moved it down and now it appears to be working… I have to do more testing.
It seems I have to restart VSC and clean from time to time to get the debugger to work with larger projects. But I am progressing.
Now I am trying to see if a chip register is changing in the right way but trying to watch the variable I am using I just get "’ for the value of the variable.
uint8_t register_out = adc1.getReadRegister(0x01);
adc1.enableTemperatureSensor(false); // turn off temperature sensor
register_out = adc1.getReadRegister(0x01);With a breakpoint at any of these three lines, and register_out in the watch window, I only get
register_out: <optimized out>I had to move the declaration of register_out to the global space in order to be able to see the value in watch. Clearly I can’t move all my variables to the global space in order to view them. What is this and how do I deal with this? (Thank you)
Also get this in another place:
What does the ‘?’ in the dark diamond mean?
Then apply debug_build_flags so that no optimization is done (level 0).
debug_build_flags = -O0 -ggdb3 -g3
