Board

AI-Thinker (NodeMCU) ESP32-C3-01M-KIT

Device Description

ESP32-C3 board (not in list), using "ESP32C3 Dev Module" board name.

Hardware Configuration

Using internal USB IO18, IO19

Version

v2.0.4

IDE Name

Arduino IDE 2.0.0-rc8 (same behavior with 1.8.19)

Operating System

MacOS Catalina

Flash frequency

40 mhs

PSRAM enabled

no

Upload speed

115200

Description

The Port Select Menu lists: /dev/cu.wchusbserial1410 (some board name)

The board name randomly changes when resetting board, this causes the no board selection, have to re-select current name displayed in menu to reactivate port. The current port menu title lists just the port name: "/dev/cu.wchusbserial1410"

This change in behavior started some time in September, I assume an Arduino or espressif board plugin update introduced the new behavior.

In a dozen resets I might see a variation of port names like:
/dev/cu.wchusbserial1410 (ESP32S3 Dev Module)
/dev/cu.wchusbserial1410 (AirM2M-Core-ESP32C3)
/dev/cu.wchusbserial1410 (ESP32-S3-Box)
/dev/cu.wchusbserial1410 (Adafruit QT PY ESP32-C3)
/dev/cu.wchusbserial1410 (LOLIN C3 Mini)
/dev/cu.wchusbserial1410 (DFRobot BeetleESP32-C3)

Actually using: ESP32 by espressif 2.0.5

Debug Message

Compile/Upload result after reset changed port menu listing:

Failed uploading: no upload port provided

Other Steps to Reproduce

FYI using ESP32-C3 micro-USB connection, I get 2 port choices:

/dev/cu.wchusbserial1410 which works for code uploads.

/dev/cu.usbserial1410 which works for serial monitoring

(I might have 2 CH340 drivers installed?)

Also found patching boards.txt entries to TRUE helps serial monitoring work

esp32c3.serial.disableDTR=true
esp32c3.serial.disableRTS=true
