ESP32 built in USB-to-JTAG debugger - SOLVED

[klaatu2]

Trying to get the builtin USB-to-JTAG debugger running using ESP-IDE in VSC and running OpenOCD.

The USB driver appears to be running:

When attempting to start the OpenOCD Server:

I have searched and searched an can't find a solution.
I see nothing from Espressif that helps.
Various AI discuss creating a launch.json file. No real mention from Espressif
Shouldn't the OpenOCD server be pre-configured by ESP-IDE without a launch file??

I tried this launch.json file, but it still fails: Not sure it needs this file.

This is the menuconfig JTAG settings

There are two ESP32 efuses which can disable the USB/JTAG interface, both are set to not disable the function:

Is this a driver issue? Notice the age of this driver, 19 years old....can this be the right driver?

It was the driver.
The 2021 driver can be found here

While the OpenOCD Server is now running, it is reporting errors. More debug required

That launch.json file also was not correct
Instead, I deleted it. then hit CTRL SHIFT P, and entered "ESP-IDF: Add vscode Configuration Folder"
That created a new launch.json file
And now the debugger seems to be running

Now to figure out how to use it
