ESP32 Forum

Hello,

i have created a custom board using an esp32s3-wroom and an cp210 uart bridge.

when I try to upload a firmware / program I get the error message:

I am not 100% sure if my setup is correct (see pictures). I have measured the following values:

GPIO0 = 0.01 V → 0.01V (when SW2 pushed)

GPIO2 = not connected

GPIO12 = low

GPIO15 = 2.9 V

EN = high 3.3v → 0.5V (when SW1 pushed)

DTR = 3.3 V (SW1 / SW2 not pushed) → 2.9 V SW1 Pushed

RTS = 3.3 V (SW1 / SW2 not pushed) → 2.9 V SW2 pushed

Looks like you connected the TxD of your CP230x to the TxD of the ESP32 and RxD to RxD. Those should be crossed: TxD of the ESP should go to RxD of the CP230x and vice versa.

Oh okay, thank you! I will try that out. Keep you updated if this helped

Hi ESP_Sprite,

thanks again for your help. That was exactly the problem! Great. Now I can proceed.
