monitor doea not work in my IDF installation

[mikekgr]

Dear Sirs,
in my Windows 10 computer, I have just installed the ESP-IDF following the steps in page(s) http://esp-idf.readthedocs.io/en/latest ... index.html
I did compile without problem ( and it is running ) the "hello_world" example. The only problem I have is when I am trying to make monitor,
I get the following errors ( and the monitor, does not work properly, does not shows the serial "printings" of the ESP32. If
I cat directly the comm port that the esp32 in connected /dev/ttyS6 I can see the "printings". Any idea what is wrong?
Thanks!
$ make monitor

... to answer to my question, it is necessary to put Windows names com port at make menuconfic, inmy case COM6 did the trick.
Then everything was worked fine...

Your serial port, as shown in the logs appears to be specified as "/6". That doesn't seem at all right for Windows. Serial ports on windows are usually "COMxx" (eg. COM3, COM6 ...)

Can you check what you have configured as your serial port?
