Hi @frankcohen. The ESP32 Dev Board is supported by the Arduino IDE integrated sketch debugger.

If you find that the "Start Debugging" button is disabled, this indicates that you have not selected a programmer from the IDE's Tools > Programmer menu. A programmer selection is now required when using Arduino IDE <=2.3.0 due to the addition to Arduino IDE of the capability to support multiple distinct types of debug probes (#2281). So select Tools > Programmer > Esptool from the Arduino IDE menus and the "Start Debugging" button will now be enabled.

If you have any questions about using the Arduino IDE sketch debugger, or would like to discuss the subject, feel free to post over on Arduino Forum.
