Using debugging while receiving on UART0

Hi,

My project requires constant communication with my computer (from computer to ESP32 only), which I am doing through UART0 (using the CP2102 UART-USB chip that is on my development board (ESP32 WROOM32 devkit v1).

Without turning off the debugging access to UART0, I just keep getting the same random characters in my readout. But after turning that off in menuconfig, I no longer have access to the debugging feature. I don't think I am able to use another UART port, since the CP2102 only has one input connection.

Is there a way for these functionalities to work together? Thanks in advance!

Why not simply get a cheap USB-serial board and connect that to another UART?

Was just wondering if this was possible. This part of the project has a deadline, so by the time the board would arrive, I would have figured it out myself another way.
