Oh, so this isn’t full in circuit debugging like ESP-PROG would enable, correct? These parts just have built in USB-Serial for programming and printing to the terminal without an external IC.

Edit: Never mind, it does appear to allow full in circuit debugging. I’ll have to do some more research.

As far as debugging goes, you basically need to run `idf.py openocd` to start OpenOCD, and then connect to it with the gdb that's part of the ESP-IDF SDK, by default it should be listening on port 3333. At least that's how I have it set up in CLion.

There is more info here https://docs.espressif.com/projects/esp-idf/en/v5.0/esp32c3/..., the ESP-IDF VS Code extension should have this doable with one button click.

Yep. It literally made our ESP-PROG connection obsolete, and gave us back all the pins we burned on our board for JTAG.
