Flashing procedure not able to open port

Postby column » Mon May 08, 2023 9:03 am

Trying to build LVGL port to ESP32 demo project and flash to WT32-SC01 PLUS With 3.5 inch 320X480 module with ESP32-S2-WROVER chip. Build was done with ESP-IDF v4.4.4 version without problems. But flashing command idf.py -p 9 flash generates error:

"9" is not a proper port name. Ports start with "COM" on Windows. So it should be something like COM9, but most probably COM3 or COM4. You can check this in your Device manager and see which one appears when you connect your device.

And on Linux it will be..

Code: Select all

/dev/tty<Something>
Definitely something wrong with the hardware setup there.
