Dasduino CONNECTPLUS ESP32 wrong boot mode detected error on code upload

Customer:

I have a Dasduino CONNECTPLUS (ESP32) and every time I try to upload code I get an error: Failed to connect to esp32: wrong boot mode detected(0xb)! The chip needs to be in download mode.

I’ve already tried changing the port, cable, and computer. I’ve checked the drivers and nothing helped. I also tried using the user button to enter download mode, but that didn’t work either.

How can I solve this problem?

Kupila sam vaš Dasduino CONNECTPLUS(ESP32) i svaki put kad pokušam uploadati kod pojavi se error koji glasi: Failed to connect to esp32: wrong boot mode detected(0xb)! The chip needs to be in download mode.

Već sam probala zamijeniti port, kabel i računalo. Provjerila sam drajvere i ništa nije pomoglo, pokušala sam i pomoću tipke user doći u download moad, ali bilo je uzalud.

Kako bi mogla riješiti svoj problem?

Soldered Support:

Make sure you’re using the board definitions we’ve prepared for our boards. The full procedure is detailed in this tutorial: Arduino - Arduino Quick Start Guide | Soldered Documentation. Problems sometimes occur when certain pins on the board are connected to hardware incorrectly. Pay special attention to the IO2 pin – during code upload it must be disconnected and should not be connected to any external components. Try uploading code to the board when it’s connected only via USB-C cable.

Žao nam je što imate poteškoća. Prije svega, koristite li definicije pločica koje smo pripremili za naše boardove? Cijeli postupak detaljno je opisan u ovom tutorijalu: Arduino - Arduino Quick Start Guide | Soldered Documentation. Problemi se ponekad javljaju i kada su pojedini pinovi na pločici spojeni na hardver na neispravan način. Posebno obratite pažnju na IO2 pin – prilikom uploadanja koda mora biti odspojen i ne smije biti spojen ni na kakve vanjske komponente. Molimo vas da pokušate uploadati kod na pločicu kada je spojena samo putem USB-C kabela i javite nam rezultate.

Customer:

I was able to solve the problem after disconnecting the component from the IO2 pin as you suggested.

Uspjela sam riješiti problem, nakon što sam odspojila komponentu s IO2 pina kao što ste rekli. Hvala.
