Fair enough. What's a good way to convey the project? I'm still relatively new to using github.

I can definitely provide a reproducible example. I'm not sure how much my app figures into this, though, given that the problem seems to occur before (or just as) app_main starts. Opinion?

BTT. Is this an appropriate candidate for opening an issue on github?

Figured it out: when selecting the option to use a current IDF directory, it's the user's (my) responsibility to ensure that the directory contains a compatible version of the IDF. Mine was still set to v3.3; allowing the setup tool to install release/v4.0 cleared up the above problems.

Duh...

Current summary: my app doesn't seem to be starting. I'm fairly sure that the console bug that Angus referenced above is no longer a factor. I put some telltales in port.c; here are the results: I (359) cpu_start: Starting scheduler on PRO CPU. I (359) port.c: _xt_coproc_init() completed. I (359) po...

I'm marking this closed because the title is misleading, and I fell victim to at least one red herring trying to find the problem here. I'll open a new thread shortly.

I think I found the cause of this problem -- the tools setup program prompts for "create desktop shortcut for ESP-IDF Tools Command Line." I interpreted this to literally mean a shortcut located on the desktop, and un-checked it. Evidently, though, this option controls the creation of the shortcut t...

Oh, I missed that. Not sure what the root cause here is, maybe as you say something unrelated to console? If you add a log statement as the first line in your app_main(), does this get printed?

Nope. My app_main() does not seem to get called. Very strange...

Thanks for the offer. At this point, though, I'm still wondering how it is that it works for the hello world example, but not for my app. As stated above, the sdkconfig files are nearly identical (I have to build my app in release mode due to size constraints), and the partition table is identical. ...

Hi WiFive -

I've tried this with and without configuration for UART1 and those GPIO pins. Same results.
