Hi @2dom ! The menuconfig target is only available for ESP-IDF framework and Arduino uses prebuilt ESP-IDF so it’s not configurable.

Are there any workarounds if I wanted to use arduino? E.g. to enable CONFIG_PM_ENABLE on a ESP32s2 module.

@pcontezini and @zekageri, I was also having problems with it until I came across @valeros answer. If you are using Arduino as the framework, it probably won’t work. Arduino comes with a precompiled sdkconfig file. You can try making sure you have selected to use the esp-idf framework.
