Has there been any progress on the debugger working with ESP32S3?

@sterretje Should this not be in IDE 2 Category?
I can give some feedback there.
@Willem43, as I do not know what OP is exactly doing and if OP is using IDE 2.x (I admit that it's likely), I've moved it to Microcontrollers and not to IDE 2.x.
You can reply here; OP will find it 
@sterretje. Understood. Talking about an ESP32-S3 and the debugger I would have assumed we are in IDE 2 territory.
I will add a reply as to the debugger shortly.
I am using IDE 2.3.2. Wasn't sure where to post.
OK, moved to the IDE 2.x section.
Just some background.
I am using an ESP32-S3 the same as in the second picture in the OP of this thread.
I am running one of the later nightlies reporting Ver 2.3.3 on a Window 10 PC. I am also using the ESP32 Core version 3.0.4. Most people still use version 2.0.17 due to some major changes going to 3.
I had a lot of trouble initially getting the debugger to run with the ESP (using an Arduino Zero was straight forward). So, basically the debugger does work natively with the S3. How useful the debugger is, is another story.
Your question does not explain what sort of information you are asking for so I will leave it at that.
I haven't had any luck getting the debugger or anything working with 3.0.4 and dropped back to 2.0.17. Haven't tried with 2.0.17 to get the debugger working, from what I've read it isn't straight forward or even very useful when it does work. Debuggers I have used in the past could set breakpoints, single step etc. Not sure what information you expect from me, I just wondered if anything was happening on that front.
You just provided it.
I do not think much will change between 2.0.17 and 3.0.4 as far as the debugger is concerned. You can check here what changed between 2.x and 3.x. I actually prefer the new system, they made things a lot easier (for what I do at least).
My problem getting it working had to do with the Windows drivers for the native port on the S3. I had a real battle to get it working and recognizing the S3 for debugging. Part had to do with the IDE itself, particularly on my system.
If 2.0.17 does not sort it for you, ask and I can explain what I had to do - might just get you going as well. I can also explain what my issues with the current state of the debugger is.
