2.0.6 core update adds JTAG debugging in Arduino v2 IDE

[DOugL-]

I'd been working on trying to get the esp32 working with the Arduino v2.0.3 IDE since it has OpenOCD built in and I was able to test that with the Arduino Zero and an STM32 but had been unsuccessful. While working on an ESP32 project I saw the 2.0.6 update and checked what was new and there it was, Arduino IDE v2 JTAG debugging added! And it worked.

Thank you ESP-IDF devs!

Thanks for the info.
Maybe you know, does that requires external JTAG hardware and not the ESP32-C3 built-in JTAG? Using the UART/JTAG shenanigans.
tnx

@bobolink, I don't know about the ESP32-C3 but the ESP32(ESP-WROOM-32) I've tested with requires an FT232H/FT2232H based JTAG interface. Either the raw adapter or the ESP-Prog interface. Both are under US$20.
