Unable to flash firmware
Posted: Mon Nov 15, 2021 3:11 pm
Hi I have a Heltec Lora32 board that worked fine until now. When I now want to flash firmware with idf.py -p COM3 flash I get a "A fatal error occurred: Timed out waiting for packet content". I read somewhere that more info about the root cause can possibly be obtained via the command "espefuse.py --port COM3 summary". I did this, but I don't know how to interprete the output. Can someone please help me out. Here is the output:
