ESP-Prog JTAG Debugger and Programmer
ESP-Prog JTAG Debugger and Programmer
ESP-Prog is one of Espressif’s development and debugging tools, with functions including automatic firmware downloading, serial communication, and JTAG online debugging. ESP-Prog’s automatic firmware downloading and serial communication functions are supported on both the ESP8266 and ESP32 platforms, while the JTAG online debugging is supported only on the ESP32 platform.
ESP-Prog can easily connect to a PC with the use of only one USB cable. Then, the PC can identify the board’s downloading and JTAG interfaces (functions) by their port numbers. Given that the power supply voltage may vary on different user boards, either of the ESP-Prog interfaces can provide the 5V or the 3.3V power supply through pin headers, in order to ensure power compatibility.
Works great with Visual Studio Code and PlatformIO, or any other IDE that supports OpenOCD, to upload and debug code running on your ESP32 right from within the IDE. It contains an industry standard JTAG interface so will also work with any other Microcontrollers that support JTAG.
Windows and Mac users may need to install the ft2232hl driver from FTDI for this device.
