Programming ESP32-C3-Mini using serial port

I wonder if it is possible to program the ESP32-C3-Mini using the serieal input instead of using USB, and if so how to do it.

Best regards

Hi,

Yes, you can flash via UART on the GPIO20 and GPIO21 (pads 30 and 31 on the ESP32-C3-MINI-1).
To flash, you need to get into download mode using the GPIO9 during the boot.

Please see the datasheet and all the information you need will be there.

If you can, share the schematics and more details on how you are connecting the signals.
