ESPLink v1.2 (v1.0)
ESPLink is a debug tool build for Expressif's ESP chips made by MuseLab based on Espressif's esp-usb-bridge, all Espressif's ESP chips are supported, currently supports ESP8266/ESP32/ESP32-S2/ESP32-C3/ESP32-S3 (also can update firmware to support Espressif's latest chips), with usb-to-serial (compatible with traditional use), drag-n-drop program, and jtag debug, made it very convenient for development and test.
compatible with the traditional use, can used to program with esptool.py or monitor the serial output message. examples for reference:
$idf.py -p /dev/ttyACM0 flash monitor
$esptool.py --chip esp32c3 \
-p /dev/ttyACM0 \
-b 115200 \
--before=default_reset \
--after=hard_reset \
--no-stub \
write_flash \
--flash_mode dio \
--flash_freq 80m \
--flash_size 2MB \
0x0 esp32c3/bootloader.bin \
0x8000 esp32c3/partition-table.bin \
0x10000 esp32c3/blink_100.bin
the ESPLink support drag-n-drop program, after power on the board, a virtual USB Disk named ESPLink will appear, just drag the flash image into the ESPLink, wait for some seconds, then the ESPLink will automatically complete the program work. it's very convenient since it's no need to rely on external tools and work well on any platform (Win/Linux/Mac .etc), some typical usage scenarios: quickly verification, compile on cloud server and program on any PC, firmware upgrade when used on commercial products .etc
note: the flash image is in uf2 format, can generated with espressif's official tool idf.py
$idf.py uf2
$cp build/uf2.bin /media/pi/ESPLink/
ESPLink support jtag interface to debug the ESP32 series chip, it's useful for product developer to fix the bug when system crash, here are the instructions for reference (target chip is ESP32-S2 here as an example)
$git clone https://github.com/espressif/openocd-esp32.git
$cd openocd-esp32
$./bootstrap
$./configure
$make -j
$sudo make install
pi@raspberrypi:~/oss/openocd-esp32 $ sudo ./src/openocd -s /home/pi/oss/openocd-esp32/tcl -f tcl/interface/esp_usb_bridge.cfg -f tcl/target/esp32s2.cfg

when attach success, open another ternimal to debug, you can use gdb or telnet, explained separately as follows
$xtensa-esp32s2-elf-gdb -ex 'target remote 127.0.0.1:3333' ./build/blink.elf
(gdb) info reg
(gdb) s
(gdb) continue
$telnet localhost 4444

USB-Serial TX and RX
BOOT
set low, and reset the board, then the board will enter to bootloader for flash program, note that BOOT and RST is controled by ESPLink USB-Serial DTR and RTS, compatible with other USB-Serial chip like CP2102 and CH340.
RST
for reset the chip
