ESP32 S3 Automatic Boot / Reboot when flashing

I'm creating a Board with an ESP32 S3.
Is there a comprehensive guide to handle the IO0 and EN pins in a way so that I can get in and out of boot mode via software? I know the dev boards do it, but honestly i'm just lacking the right search terms.
Greatful for any help!

Search for ESP32 DTR RTS, see e.g. here:

yes. Or use external cp2102 or CH340 module (from ebay/aliexpress)

Either that, or you connect to the built-in USB CDC/JTAG of the S3, if USB isn't in use by the application already.
