ESP32-WROOM-32U JTAG wiring - Can you check my circuit?

[jimhelios]

I have a board with an ESP32-WROOM-32U and a JTAG circuit, and I have been unable to get OpenOCD to work with the board using a Segger J-link JTAG debugger. When I try, I get this:

The circuit was designed based on these guidelines:

Here is the schematic. The connector is a Segger 10 pin needle connector:

Does VTREF need to be connected to V3.3? Any comments would be appreciated thank you.

I think I found it. This board uses the Segger 10 pin needle connector and pin 1 (VTREF) was not connected. I added a hookup wire between V3.3 and that pin and got the results I pasted below.
