uart is not working

i am trying to set up uart on my project. but, even the example code is not working.

any help is much appreciated.

What is the symptom of it "not working"?

Thank you so much MR.Kolban,

My esp-idf was not updated,the problem solved when i have updated it.
I found your book very helpful. i appreciate the effort you took to develop such a book on esp32.

He is quite helpful. I can only hope, as one of the embedded pros in the forums, I can eventually be as helpful as he's been up to this point on all fronts.
