USB JTAG Driver
Posted: Wed Feb 19, 2025 2:06 pm
I have serios problems with getting the debugger started. It worked once but I have spent weeks on that issue. No that I have used zadig for other USB devices (FPGA) the ESP debugging is again not working. This whole usb jtag driver thing is a real pain...
If there would only be ONE HOW TO that explains clearly what to do bring this very very very unstable USB thing to work.
I have a windows 11 machine, running ESP-IDF 5.2.2 with Eclipse IDE. I was reading tons of documents each with other tipps, here just a view of the:
- Ue idf py and paste string und update driver
- Use IDF installer 2.8 to overcome USB JTAG issues
- Use Zadig and intsall on interface 0 WinUSB driver
- Enlarge OCD start-up time
- ............ as more you search as more recomendations you find, it's maximal confusing
In the end one even can't remeber what hundrets of different options I tried so far withoud success.
In my oppinion the problem is, that in former configuration I had (that worked fine), the USB JTAG device for my S3 was listed in the device manager under:
1. JTAG device listed inside USB controller tab (Driver: Espressif)
2. COM port as serial device
Unfortunately both is not the case in my setup I have right now, which is:
1. Serial JTAG device as COM port Interface 0 (Windows driver)
2. Serial JTAG device as COM port Interface 2 (Windows driver)
When I use Zadig and change the driver of Interface 0 to WinUSB I get a new USB COntroller device which is the first step, but still with windows driver...
I anyone can help here I would be very happy. Thanks, Benedikt
