esp32 s3 jtag

[engineering-spirit]

Is there support for the buildin usb JTAG of the esp32-s3 ?

so the buildin jtag is not supported?
Or is there a way to use it.

I cant vind any option to use it in the debug configuration.

Hi,

We have just retested it with the ESP32-S3-BOX and it worked just fine. Please make sure you actually install the WinUSB driver for the “USB Composite device”  as VisualGDB suggests (you need to select “USB Devices” in the “Debug Using” field for VisualGDB to check the drivers).

The default driver layout (separate serial port & debug nodes) appears to be incompatible with the current version of OpenOCD.

Hi,

I am getting the issue, not able to use debug my ESP32-S3 in custom board. I have already flashed my code in S3, but I am not able to debug using built-in USB debug of ESP32-S3.

I am getting this exception message:

VisualGDB version: 5.6.104.4534
—————— System.Exception ——————
System.Exception: esp_usb_jtag: could not find or open device!

Hi,

This is something to check with Espressif, the maintainers of the ESP32 OpenOCD port. All VisualGDB does in this case is launch OpenOCD with the parameters you select.

Hi,

I have found the issue and I am able to debug my ESP32-S3 now. It turns out that visual GDB was not able to change the driver of USB device. I had to do it manually using USB Driver Tool and is working now with earlier given commands.

I am also interested how to get the debugging working for the S3.

Can the dual USB version modules be debugged in Visual Studio with Visual gdb? The board works with openocd and flash programming ok in VS Code.

I notice in the “New Espressif sdk project” dialog there is only option to select ESP32C3 built-in jtag. Is this to be selected to set up S3 debugging as attached?

Hi,

The built-in debugging interface was originally introduced in ESP32C3, hence VisualGDB calls it “ESP32C3 debug interface”. If it was auto-detected by the USB ID as shown on the screenshot, it should work just fine.
