PCB: ESP32-S3_DevKitC-1 or customs Board with ESP32S3 .
Framework: ESP-IDF 5.1.
Software: softAP example.
Power supply: PC USB3 Port to USB(JTAG) port.
Problem definition:
As i launch debug end the program wait at start of app_main ()
the power regulator(5v to 3v3) end the esp32s3 overheating very fast
end disturb all my USB ports in my PC.
most of the time if i immediately run the program its
cooling down.
this making it difficult programming end debugging
as i need to check my board all the time.

Suggestions are welcome.
Thanks in advance.

Can you give a bit more information?

PCB: ESP32-S3_DevKitC-1 end r customs Board .

Sorry, is this the devkit *and* a custom board, or the devkit *on* a custom board? If the 2nd, do you also get it with the devkit by itself?

Furthermore, what software do you use to debug this? An IDE like VSCode our our Eclipse IDE, or something else?

Sorry. I meant ESP32-S3-DevKitC-1 "or" custom board with esp32s3.
Tested on each separately.

In addition, I use most of the time eclipse with Open On-Chip Debugger v0.12.0-esp32-20230419
Also happened when i tried MS VSC with pltformIO end custom softAP program.
