The behaviour between an actual USB-to-serial bridge chip and the USB Serial/JTAG Controller is slightly different if the ESP-IDF application does not listen for incoming bytes. An USB-to-serial bridge chip will just send the bytes to a (not listening) chip, while the USB Serial/JTAG Controller will block until the application reads the bytes. This can lead to a non-responsive looking terminal program. +3. For data sent in the direction of ESP32 to PC Terminal (e.g. stdout, logs), the ESP32 first writes to a small internal buffer. If this buffer becomes full (for example, if no PC Terminal is connected), the ESP32 will do a one-time wait of 50ms hoping for the PC Terminal to request the data. This can appear as a very brief 'pause' in your application. -4. The USB CDC device won't work in sleep modes as normal due to the lack of APB clock in sleep modes.
