Description

Can't upload new sketches.
Tried pressing boot button as described in readme but doesn't work.

Sketch

Multiple sketches tried all with same result ->
Sketch uses 1006324 bytes (76%) of program storage space. Maximum is 1310720 bytes.
Global variables use 37356 bytes (11%) of dynamic memory, leaving 290324 bytes for local variables. Maximum is 327680 bytes.
esptool.py v4.6
Serial port COM3
Connecting......................................

A fatal error occurred: Failed to connect to ESP32-S3: No serial data received.

Debug Message

Not applicable as not related to sketch.

Other steps to Reproduce

No boot up info from serial port as is usual with an esp. eg from working board->
rst:0x15 (USB_UART_CHIP_RESET),boot:0x2b (SPI_FAST_FLASH_BOOT)
Saved PC:0x4037de2a
SPIWP:0xee
mode:DIO, clock div:1
load:0x3fce3818,len:0x109c
load:0x403c9700,len:0x4
load:0x403c9704,len:0xb50
load:0x403cc700,len:0x2fe4
entry 0x403c98ac

Test with same sketch but DIFFERENT board ->
Sketch uses 950245 bytes (30%) of program storage space. Maximum is 3145728 bytes.
Global variables use 44820 bytes (13%) of dynamic memory, leaving 282860 bytes for local variables. Maximum is 327680 bytes.
esptool.py v4.6
Serial port COM4
Connecting...
Chip is ESP32-S3 (revision v0.2)
Features: WiFi, BLE
Crystal is 40MHz
etc ......

So is orginal board faulty after 10 sketch uploads?

The port of the board was not found. You can hold down the BOOT button on the board, then power it on and use a serial debugging tool to check if the following serial port information appears. Proceed with further troubleshooting based on the results.
