ESP32 Forum

Hi,
I have a device no longer boot, it always shows below boot message:

rst:0x1 (POWERON_RESET),boot:0x2 (DOWNLOAD_BOOT(UART0/UART1/SDIO_REI_FEO_V2))
waiting for download

I check another (good) device, it shows below for download mode:
rst:0x1 (POWERON_RESET),boot:0x3 (DOWNLOAD_BOOT(UART0/UART1/SDIO_REI_REO_V2))
waiting for download
and shows below for normal boot:
rst:0x1 (POWERON_RESET),boot:0x13 (SPI_FAST_FLASH_BOOT)

Seems I cannot reproduce the "boot:0x2".
What is the meaning of boot:0x2?

It seems that you have tied the "BOOT_SEL" pin to GND. Than the ESP32 boots in download mode for flashing new firmware.

Make sure the Boot_SEL Pin is high or floating to boot in normal operation mode.

Here you can find all the boot messages.
