Good evening friends
I am not expert. I have just started with my first micro-controller to learn microphyton. I have followed instructions to burn the firmware on the ESP S3. I didn't get any errors but now my ESP32 is continuously blinking yellow. Is this normal? the serial monitor is displaying continuosly as follows:

I can show you the output from flashing the firmware if required.
Thank you very much

Re: My ESP32 S3 led is continuosly blinking yellow
It seems you Python code make the esp32 reboot, try with some minimum code and if you still have an issue, then post your code here.
Re: My ESP32 S3 led is continuosly blinking yellow
Thank you for your reply Agree007.! I have not written any micropython code yet! The instructions say that before writing any code one has to burn the firmware on the ESP32-S3 using the ESPTOOL. The problem described earlier occurs just after this.

Re: My ESP32 S3 led is continuosly blinking yellow
Im not using Micro Python, just trying to assist you. Are you following freenove or esp own guide and bin file ? I think you need a version with the correct size of psram and flash ?
I have some freenove ESP32-S3 modules and they work great with Arduino ide
