  1. After using #esptool to flash the ESP-S3 based #Heltec WiFi LorRa 32 V4 with #MeshCore firmware, my repeater does not start. lsusb shows: Espressif USB JTAG/serial debug unit. Even tried erase_flash before flashing the firmware, but same result. The ESP/Heltec V4 seems to be stuck in JTAG/programming mode?

  2. This took way more time than planned to get working: ESP32 Dev Kit microcontroller programmed from the command-line, using esptool and platformio running in a Python venv.

    Inspired by github.com/rgl/platformio-esp3

    I realized that I was running #esptool installed from the #debian repo, not via `pip install`. So I did that.

    1. 2.8 -> 4.5.1
    2. No longer need to hold the boot button down
    3. erase_flash works
    4. *** SO DOES THE BOARD ***
