@fdcavalcanti @tmedicci please take a look!

@FelipeMdeO seems similar to this issue: https://github.com/espressif/openocd-esp32/issues/315

Hi @FelipeMdeO ,

Considering the message Error: esp_usb_jtag: could not find or open device!, it seems the USB/JTAG port is not connected. Can you please double-check if the 2nd USB port (the one in the right) is connected?

You should expected something like that on your dmesg when you attach the USB-C cable to the USB/JTAG port of the ESP32-C6:

[1214203.144071] usb 3-1.2.2: new full-speed USB device number 109 using xhci_hcd

Hello @tmedicci ,

Yes, USB/JTAG port is connected, please look image below:

PS: I am using esp32c6 devkit m

@FelipeMdeO see the LIBUSB_ERROR_ACCESS, please try the same command with "sudo"

@FelipeMdeO Hi Felipe, what OS are you using? Did you check udev rules?

[FelipeMdeO]

Hello @fdcavalcant.

I am using Ubuntu 20 .04 noble.

@acassis Thank you very much, running with sudo it worked.

[tmedicci]

Hi @FelipeMdeO , you can set the udev rules too to avoid this kind of error: https://docs.espressif.com/projects/esp-idf/en/latest/esp32c6/api-guides/jtag-debugging/configure-builtin-jtag.html#configure-usb-drivers

[tmedicci]

Thanks for reporting. We will update the documentation to make it clearer...
