Did not find any description nor instruction I could connect to ESP32RETSSID AP with my phone and that is all. Nothing more. My Win10 notebook could not even connect.

It's supposed to allow for using wifi to connect to the device so a USB cable is not needed. It should be possible to connect to an ESP32 over wifi with SavvyCAN and do CAN capturing without USB. It also should support telnet so you can gain access to the serial terminal that way. Sometimes miniAP mode might not work properly. I usually use the serial console to type in my SSID settings for my home wifi and then the ESP32 just connects to that. That makes it possible to go drop a dongle in your car and access it from a laptop anywhere in the house.
