FW load getting A fatal error occurred: Timed out waiting for packet header
Posted: Tue Jul 25, 2017 7:07 pm
Hello
I'm having a problem loading compiled programs into the esp32.
Initially I built the hello_world example on Ubuntu running in an Oracle vbox and flashed it fine - monitor showed it restarting and printing its message over and over again.
I then tried a different program to try flashing some leds and started getting the error. (See ) I thought it might be a timing problem caused by vbox and so I installed the IDF on my Windows10 host so the USB would be direct. But I'm getting the same problem. I tried to manually set the esp32 into boot mode ( and then flash without the --before default_reset but to no avail.
Any suggestions would be appreciated.
Thanks
Tom
