Unable to get REPL on T-Display-S3 Pro (Lilygo)

[tdhoward]

Describe the bug
After compiling and flashing the device, I try connecting via CDC, and there is a problem with the COM port. The terminal application is unable to connect. I've tried Thonny and other terminal applications. I get this error:

A fatal error occurred: Could not open COM5, the port is busy or doesn't exist.
(Cannot configure port, something went wrong. Original message: PermissionError(13, 'A device attached to the system is not functioning.', None, 31))

Expected behavior
I should be able to connect to the device REPL with a terminal app.

Additional info
I can successfully use the Generic ESP32-S3 (SPIRAM-OCT variant) build of MicroPython:
https://micropython.org/download/ESP32_GENERIC_S3
With this build, the REPL works properly.

Also, when I use UsbTreeView to see what COM port I'm connecting to, I notice that I get different device string descriptors:
When in programming mode: "USB JTAG/serial debug unit"
After flashing lvgl_micropython image: "USB JTAG/serial debug unit"
After flashing generic MicroPython.org image: "Espressif Device" (but this shows up on COM6)

This is not a visual issue.

If you are having a problem compiling paste the build output below. (NO SCREENSHOTS)
There were no errors while building.

If your problem is running the binding please past the code you are using below.*
I can't get far enough to run any code on the device.

**Exact make and model number of the MCU that you are compiling for or the firmware is running on. **

• Make: Espressif
• Model: ESP32-S3R8 Dual core LX7

For ESP32 MCU's The PSRAM and FLASH SPI type, quad SPI or octal SPI.

• PSRAM: octal, 8MB (OPI)
• FLASH: quad, 16MB (QIO)

• OS: WSL 2.3.26.0

Build Command

python3 make.py esp32 \
  BOARD=ESP32_GENERIC_S3 \
  BOARD_VARIANT=SPIRAM_OCT \
  DISPLAY=st7796 \
  --enable-cdc-repl=y \
  --flash-size=16

Flashing Command
I thought I should include the flashing command. I execute this from PowerShell, and I get no errors from it.

python -m esptool --chip esp32s3 -p COM5 -b 460800 --before default-reset --after hard-reset write-flash --flash-mode dio --flash-size 16MB --flash-freq 80m --erase-all 0x0 lvgl_micropy_ESP32_GENERIC_S3-SPIRAM_OCT-16.bin

how many usb ports does your esp32 have.

Just one.
