Lilygo TTGO T8 ESP32-S2 ST7789 How to boot in bootloader UF2

Post by jumpzero »

Hello,

I have this Lilygo TTGO T8 ESP32-S2 ST7789 flashed with CircuitPython 7.0.0-rc.1 and cannot reset in bootloader mode.
I first flashed it with CircuitPython 6.3.0 stable (according the first flash method on this page https://circuitpython.org/board/lilygo_ ... s2_st7789/)
and had no success to reset in bootloader mode either by:
- pressing twice the reboot button
or
- running this command:

Code: Select all

  import microcontroller
  microcontroller.on_next_reset(microcontroller.RunMode.BOOTLOADER)
  microcontroller.reset()
Then I noticed this web page (mentioned above) has been updated with a procedure to:
Install, Repair, or Update UF2 Bootloader
I followed it, everything went fine. BTW congrats and thanks for the Adafruit Webserial Esptool: awesome!
At the end a boot drive appeared and I copied CircuitPython 7.0.0-rc.1 on it.
CircuitPython runs fine but I’m still not able to go to bootloader mode either by:
- pressing twice the reboot button
or
- running this command:

Code: Select all

  import microcontroller
  microcontroller.on_next_reset(microcontroller.RunMode.BOOTLOADER)
  microcontroller.reset()
At the end of this command the ESP just hangs and must be reset.

Do I have to manipulate the dip switch or anything else?
Thanks

Feel free to ask but we only support the products we make and we have little experience with this board. Maybe some user has a board and can give you help.

@franklin97355 thank you for your answer. Yes I understand that's fair enough.
I also use Adafruit genuine products and appreciate the support and understand that I cannot expect the same from Lilygo.
Unfortunately there is absolutely no support no doc with Lilygo...
But maybe some day somebody will see this post and...
maybe yes maybe no
:-)
Have a nice day everybody
