Open the Command Palette with Ctrl/⌘+Shift+P.
Type Preferences: Open Settings (UI) and press Enter.
Type arduinoAPI.log into the Search Settings <input>.
Tick the checkbox next to the preference value.
Open the Command Palette and type Show Output Channel... and press Enter.
You will see (at least) two channels: Arduino API and ESP Exception Decoder (Log). If you select one of them, the default Output channel in the Arduino IDE changes, and you will see additional logs.

Select the Arduino API output channel and click the Clear Output toolbar in the Output view to clear the content. Do the same in the ESP Exception Decoder (Log) channel.
Unset the board+port selection in the Arduino IDE: open the Command Palette and execute the Developer (Arduino): Clear the Board and Port Selection command. The Arduino IDE will forget your board and port selection in this sketch.
Make sure the Exception Decoder terminal is opened.
(Re)Select the board and port the usual way you do in the Arduino IDE.
Open the Arduino API output channel, copy the log output, and attach it to this issue.
Open the ESP Exception Decoder (Log) output channel, and share the log messages with me.
Open the Command Palette and execute the Developer (Arduino): Dump the Board List command. The IDE will print a JSON to the Output view and share that output with me.

Thank you!
