ESP32-S3 debug issue : libusb_open() failed with LIBUSB_ERROR_NOT_SUPPORTED

Question

I just received my ESP32-S3 Wroom-1 N8R8 and I'm trying to use the debugger in VS code platformio : with this code.

Here's the platform.ini file.

I'm using it on Windows10

I can build and upload the code successfully but when try to run it in debug mode I got some errors on the debug console. The first error is : libusb_open() failed with LIBUSB_ERROR_NOT_SUPPORTED After that I also got : Unexpected OCD_ID = 00000000

And then the debug consol just get stuck like : this

I tried to install the driver correctly with zadig by following this : tutorial but there's still the same issue.

I also tried to lower the debug speed in the platform.ini file but it didn't work.

Can anyone please help ? Thank you!

Answer 1

I had the same issue. What helped was replacing Interface 2 driver with libusbK (v3.1.0.0) instead of WinUSB
