1 month ago Hi @jrdecesare,
I could not reproduce this issue with the ESP32-S3 devkit and ESP-IDF 5.3 (I've tested the uart flashing, the serial monitor, and the openocd debugging). It's weird, that you're encountering this problem when trying to debug, as the -p argument is used for UART flashing. If you use the debug configuration (ESP-IDF GDB OpenOCD Debugging), you don't need the UART port, as flashing is done via JTAG.
If you are using the ESP32-S3 devkit, please follow these steps for debugging:
-
Create the ESP-IDF GDB OpenOCD Debugging configuration if you don't already have one.
-
Edit the Configuration and navigate to the Debugger tab -> Select the esp32s3 target and ESP32-S3 chip (via built-in USB-JTAG) board.
-
Specify Flash Size on Windows: Sometimes it's necessary to specify flash size on Windows. To do it: Open sdkconfig in your project (double-click the file). Search for Serial flasher config and set the Flash size to 4MB.
-
Connect the Device: The ESP32-S3 devkit has two micro USB ports (USB and UART). Connect to the USB port.
-
Start the Debug Session: Select the debug configuration in debug mode and click "Debug". The flash process will be done automatically via JTAG, and then the debug session should start.

Hi! For quite some time I was able to compile and debug my ESP32S3 project. I went back to the project a few weeks later and I am now getting this error message when I debug:
Usage: idf.py Marine\BMS\Software\BMS_Test_App\build [OPTIONS] Try 'idf.py Marine\BMS\Software\BMS_Test_App\build --help' for help.
Error: No such option: -p
It seems as if the -p is no longer an option?? I have my USB connected to my workstation as COM9. This used to work so I don't know if a windows update had something to do with this.
I also:
Thanks!! John
