platform-espressif32: ESP32-S3 builtin debug error - esp_usb_jtag: could not find or open device!

Hi there

I’m facing an error with debugging in PlatformIO.

I have an ESP32-S3 that runs Arduino 3.0.0 (custom build) with an espressif32 platform presented by Jason2866 for supporting ESP-IDF V5.1 builds.

I’ve went through multiple threads talking about esp32-s3 builtin debugging, but couldn’t find a similar issue except this one.

I believe the issue occurs at some point before connecting to the on-board builtin debugger (which is reachable by the USB terminal of the development board); because it also can’t upload the code. (pio run -t upload) exits with an error similar to the debug console output.

platformio.ini:

Debug console output;
