ESP32 Forum

Hi there,

I have a custom board with a ESP32-S2 and I'm using the native USB port to flash the IC. I'm trying to configure it also to serve as the console, but in the menuconfig that option does not appear. According to the documentation,

On chips with USB peripheral, “USB CDC” option redirects output to the CDC port. This option uses the CDC driver in the chip ROM. This option is incompatible with TinyUSB stack.

However, the TinyUSB stack is disabled and even like that I don't have the USB CDC option. I only have the default (UART0), Custom which let's me choose between UART0 and UART1 and None.

What am I missing?

Thanks,

Luís

Have you run "idf.py set-target esp32s2" in your project before running "idf.py menuconfig"?

Yes, I even have in the SDKCONFIG:

CONFIG_IDF_CMAKE=y
CONFIG_IDF_TARGET="esp32s2"
CONFIG_IDF_TARGET_ESP32S2=y
CONFIG_IDF_FIRMWARE_CHIP_ID=0x0002

Next question would be: what esp-idf version you are running at?

IDF v4.2

I believe that CDC console has been added from v4.3.

Ah. Since I'm using VSCode, how can I choose the ESP-IDF version ? I just let the extension install everything and apparentely it's pulling the 4.2 version.
