I have 2 laptops, both with VSCode and ESP-IDF extensions
I program the ESP32 via a custom USB-Serial board, CP2102
I did a new install on the 2nd laptop as old one is giving hard-drive issues
1st has Win 10, seconds has Win11
1st one is intel u5, second one is RYZEN5
The same hardware works 100% on laptop 1, VSCode automatically pulls RTS/CTS so that ESP32 can boot and program
2nd VSCode is a no go !!, it does not pull RTS/CTS for programming
If I manually pull the Boot and Reset it programs 100% BUT not automatically
I have the latest drivers for CP2102, latest VSCode, latest ESP-IDF V5.3
This is a flow control issue and I don`t know how to enable it in VSCode.. as it just works on laptop1 with same code and hardware
