Enable USB CDC to log "hello world" to ESP32-S3 dev board for ESPHome

ESPHome
12

Yep, I am using the USB port. Just trying the simplest example, so definitely not going to add more complications with WiFi :sweat_smile:

As with Arduino IDE’s menu “CDC enable” and platformIO’s CDC enable I was successful in uploading and viewing the logs. I tried to add the same option for USB CDC in the ESPHome’s logger in hopes that I will be able to see the logs.

logger:
  level: VERBOSE
  baud_rate: 115200
  deassert_rts_dtr: true
  hardware_uart: USB_CDC

But unfortunately, I see the error that USB CDC is only for the ESP-IDF platform. I do see a GitHub issue / PR on this feature and I am wondering whether it is missing for Arduino / PlatformIO.

Time to raise an issue in the repository to add USB_CDC logger option for Arduino/ Platform? :sweat_smile:

Failed config

logger: [source hello-esphome.yaml:17]
  level: VERBOSE
  baud_rate: 115200
  deassert_rts_dtr: True

  Only esp-idf framework supports USB_CDC.
  hardware_uart: USB_CDC
