Flash CircuitPython firmware to ESP32-S3/C3 using esptool on Windows 11

This video show steps to flash CircuitPython 8.0.5 to Espressif ESP32-S3-DevKitC-1, using esptool on Windows 11.


Software preparation for Windows 11:
- Install Python (and pip)
- Install esptool
- To recognize ESP32-S3-DevKitC-1 UART port, install CP210x USB driver

Download CircuitPython firmware:
- visit https://circuitpython.org/downloads
- search ESP32-S3-DevKitC-1-N8R8, DOWNLOAD .BIN NOW

To flash firmware to ESP32-S3-DevKitC-1-N8R8:
- connect USB to the port marked "UART"

To erase flash: 
esptool.py --chip esp32s3 --port <COM PORT> erase_flash

To flash firmware to ESP32-S3: 
esptool.py --chip esp32s3 --port <COM PORT> write_flash -z 0x0 <firmware.bin>

Optionally, you can check the chip ID and flash: 
esptool.py --chip auto --port <COM PORT> chip_id
esptool.py --chip auto --port <COM PORT> flash_id
Remake:
~ or using esptool instead of esptool.py.
To flash firmware to Seeed Studio XIAO ESP32C3:

Download CircuittPython firmware for Seeed Studio XIAO ESP32C3.

Connect USB to Xiao ESP32C3.

Reset in bootloader mode:
- Press and hold BOOT button
- Press and release RESET button
- Release BOOT button

Same commands listed above, just change esp32s3 to esp32c3.

To erase flash: 
esptool.py --chip esp32c3 --port <COM PORT> erase_flash

To flash firmware to ESP32-S3: 
esptool.py --chip esp32c3 --port <COM PORT> write_flash -z 0x0 <firmware.bin>

FNIRSI 2C23T 3-in-1 Dual Channel Oscilloscope/Multimeter/Signal Generator Steps to upgrade of FNIRSI 2C23T 3-in-1 : Remark@2024-03-23: Please check the comment by dmitriivanov5330 in the video. How to distinguish the hardware? please press menu , and if you can see the words in Setting: "Hardware version No.:XXXXX " then the device is made with latest hardware, it has the latest firmware, and now it doesn't need to upgrade.  If you can not see the words in Setting: "Hardware version No.:XXXXX ", then it is made with old hardware, and it can be upgraded with firmware 2.0.2, and if you confirm this, the firmware for the device with old hardware is attached.  By the way, the firmware 2.0.2 only fixes device with old hardware. The device with new hardware can not use this firmware to upgrade. - Download firmware from FNIRSI Official Web Site - Connect USB to PC - While 2C23T is OFF, press and hold MENU button, then press POWER button to power...
