How to configure serial port in Eclipse for flashing ESP32

When I click on the "launch" button, which should flash the ESP32, I get a message that says I must configure the serial port first. However, it provides no information for how to do this.

The ESP-IDF Eclipse plugin page on github says to just click the launch button. It provides another link to customize the flash arguments. That takes me to a section of the documentation that says, "Click on the Launch Configuration edit button". There is no "Launch Configuration Edit" button that I can find.

So on version 2021-06 (4.20.0) of Eclipse, how does one configure the serial port for flashing and monitoring?

Hello,

While creating a launch target you will see an option to select the serial port. Please check this https://github.com/espressif/idf-eclips ... nch-target

The same port will be used during the flash.

Thank you! My launch target was already created, but I didn't see that little gear icon next to my current configuration. Using that I was able to set the serial port. Apologies for my user error.
