ESP32-S3-DevKitM-1 does USB to uart USB and DFU stopped working
Posted: Thu Jun 27, 2024 2:25 am
Hello everyone, I have a couple questions about the esp32 eco system. Is there a way to hard reset or wipe the esp32 flash memory clean?
I was getting acquainted with the esp32 ecosystem using esp-idf but I think I have messed up the partition for the bootloader on my partition.csv file.
My esp32 S3 DevKitM--1 doesn't seem to recognize USB cable connections, both the usb to serial and DFU USB ports doesn't work anymore. They do not appear on my PC anymore.
I tried using my uart to serial converter module to communicate with the board over the Tx AND RX pins on the board. The initial uploaded code still runs as I can see the outputs on the "monitor" terminal. But each time I set the board into boot mood by holding the boot button and pressing and releasing the reset button, the board gets into a mode which I assumed is the bootloader mode.
Now the thing is that the board doesn't respond when I try flashing it a new firmware, till my terminal errors out with the message: fatal error. NO serial data received.
How do I solve this problem?
Or better still wipe the board clean?
I'm using the esp-idf frame work on vs-code.
