Hi,

is there any way to reset/restart a "never-been-programmed before" ESP32-S3 after firmware flashing using the esptool.exe via the internal Serial/Jtag? I tried using after reset options hard, but the device stays in rom bootloader mode.

Thanks,

Antonio

Ok, we figured out there was no way of exiting ESP32-S3 bootloader using esptool. The issue has been solved and it was regardless of secure boot mode.
