Flashing adafruit-esp32-s3-feather for ESPHOME - after success, hangs on 'starting log output'

ESPHome
1

Hello,

I was hoping someone might be able to take a look at this log for me. I’m trying to flash this device for use in ESPHome. Running through the wizard in ESPHome and all seems to install fine, but then it just hangs with INFO Starting log output from /dev/ttyACM0 with baud rate 115200 - with no output being shown. Im just not sure where to go from here. Since there is no error, I feel like this is likely my inexperience leading to user error, and could use a bit of guidance.

The full log below

I think there was a note about only using the IDF framework with the S3 - for the time being at least until they get more testing done.

If there is nothing on the device that needs Arduino that may be worth a try.

Ah thanks for the reply, I couldn’t get that to work either sadly… looks like I’ll try a standard ESP32 (non S3) development board

I’ve seen the same thing on that board. I’m new to ESPHome, so I thought that was normal. If I exit using CMD-C (on a Mac) and the run the esphome command with logs, it starts sending the log lines fine. The board seems to be running fine, and I’ve been able to do OTA updates on it too.
