esptool-js VS esptool

Test instance: https://espressif.github.io/esptool-js/

You can upload firmware trough browser. No installation of any tools required: https://github.com/espressif/esptool-js

could it be related ? https://github.com/espressif/esptool-js

Next, install esptool onto your computer, then run the following commands to flash the MicroPython firmware onto the ESP32C3 using the bin file you've just downloaded.

Is the flash download tool in the image the gui for https://github.com/espressif/esptool/releases ? Or is there somewhere I can download the source? Need to automate the download process

GPL TL;DR: - The Skymap is still Stellarium Web Engine, AGPL covered code. - The motor controller is an Espresso board of some type, as evidenced by the main_S50_1.4.8.bin that controls it, and the GPL covered code in /etc/zwo that pushes the code to it. (https://github.com/espressif/esptool). If the AM3/AM5 use the same architecture, that code's probably on those units as well. - libgsl was added to the Seestar and the ASIAir in 2.1. That's GPL3 code under GNU/FSF purview. - The Seestar implements opencv and the yolov5s-small model. Yolov5 is AGPL-3.0

My problem like yours solved with this : https://github.com/espressif/esptool

I'm not the most knowledgable on the topic, as most of what I have done was troubleshooting esptool with weird development boards. But the programmer tool is called esptool and can be found on github. https://github.com/espressif/esptool

So after I read this - I tried to do exactly that. But the main Problem is that, the --force Option is not available within the ESPTOOL.. I use a Mac with macOS Ventura. I already created an Github-Issue here: Github. But in case anybody from this Subreddit already had this issue and give me a hint to fix that.

I just did some googling and found this thread. It's not clear to me that the people commenting know what they are talking about but there's some discussion about using hubs and modifying the esptool.py sequence. https://github.com/espressif/esptool/issues/790

Using '/dev/cu.usbmodem01' as serial port. Connecting........ Detecting chip type... Unsupported detection protocol, switching and trying again... Connecting...................................... Unexpected error: ESP Chip Auto-Detection failed: Failed to connect to Espressif device: No serial data received.

I found esptool use DTR (GPIO0) and RTS (EN) to reset.
