Description

I have an ESP-PROG connected to ESP32

I can't flash through JTAG unless ESP32 is in "boot" mode and UART0 connected.

Even if you try to flash ESP32 through JTAG, it seems version 1.9.0 of the extension tries to use UART connection somehow no matter what. The extension says at the end "flash through JTAG" but as I said, UART connection must be available and device in boot mode.

I just downgraded to version 1.8.1 and everything works as expected, I am able to use JTAG without UART connection.
