You can use the Arduino IDE2 Debugger with boards that are built with the SAMD microcontroller, but not with AVR-based models.

Arduino has launched the Nano ESP32 development board powered by Espressif’s ESP32-S3 Wi-Fi and Bluetooth capable 32-bit microcontroller. The tiny 3.3-V development board supports both Micropython and ...

The power of Espressif’s ESP32-S3 meets Arduino’s unmatched customer experience, documentation and community — all in the compact form factor of the Nano. Provides support for both ...

Is an Arduino Nano a bit overpowered in this role? Maybe, but the price is certainly right. There’s no need for a custom PCB either, since everything can be soldered direct to the Nano board.
