ESP32-S3 Feather with 2MB PSRAM not showing FTHRS3BOOT

Post by Breazile »

I have the ESP32-S3 Feather with 2MB PSRAM board, and for some reason I cannot get it to show the FTHRS3BOOT drive. I have tried double tapping the reset button varying timing about 50 times and it always ends up showing the CIRCUITPY drive. I tried the slow tap many many times, and faster taps, but it just does not work. I have tried this on a second ESP32-S3 which works just fine, so I assume it is a problem unique to this one board.

I assume there is some sort of bootloader problem, but do not know how to update the bootloader on that board. Is there a way to update the bootloader?

Just to check - both Feathers are the exact same version? Both are this?

And no issues manually entering ROM bootloader mode? (hold BOOT button while pressing RESET)

I was able to enter the ROM bootloader, erase and then reprogram the bootloader and it is working just fine now.
