ESP32-C3 SuperMini port doesn't show up on ChromeOS machine

I have not been able to use this board in the Arduino IDE with a chromebook. The device is recognised but it doesn't show up as a port (in the IDE or in the terminal). I suspect it is a missing driver or something down that line. The boards work fine on Windows. If anyone, who has experience with chromebooks, could give me a clue; that would be great.

Hi! Welcome to the forum.

This topic might be of your interest:

PS: bringing a different subject to an old topic might be interpreted as topic hijacking. Take a look into How to get the best out of this forum, if you haven't done so yet :wink:

I split your post out to its own topic @joseph-yoder. In the future, please only post on an existing topic if your post is directly relevant.

This is basic forum etiquette, as explained in the "How to get the best out of this forum" guide. It contains a lot of other useful information. Please read it.

Thanks in advance for your cooperation.

I saw that you later posted this on another topic (where it was reasonably relevant, so that was fine):

Does that mean that you solved the "doesn't show up as a port" problem you report here? If so, please add a reply on this forum topic to provide a description of the solution you found. That information will be very useful to others who have the same problem and find your topic while researching for a solution.

Thanks for the help. No, I have not been able to solve this issue. I have been able to program other esp32s with a chromebook but not the Super Mini.

Thanks, I have already looked at that topic. It is talking about using the Arduino Cloud IDE with Chromebooks. I have already found this not to work. The problem I am facing is with the offline IDE, specifically with the esp32-c3 supermini. Other esp32s work fine.

Did you try
chrome://flags/#permissive-usb-passthrough
"Enable more permissive passthrough for USB Devices"
