Install CircuitPython firmware on YD-ESP32-S3-EYE using esptool

Install CircuitPython 8.2.8 firmware on YD-ESP32-S3-EYE by VCC-GND Studio using esptool, run on Linux Mint 21.2, over Windows 11/VirtualBox.


Power up in BOOTLOADER mode:
- Press and hold BOOT button, connect USB.

Visit CircuitPython Download Page, search and download for ESP32-S3-EYE. Download .BIN of CircuitPython 8.

Check CHIP/FLASH ID: 

esptool.py --chip auto --port <PORT> chip_id
esptool.py --chip auto --port <PORT> flash_id

Erase Flash::
esptool.py --chip esp32s3 --port <PORT> erase_flash

Flash Firmware in .BIN:
esptool.py --chip esp32s3 --port <PORT> --baud 460800 write_flash -z 0x0 <.BIN>

Disconnect and connect USB again. It will run in CircuitPython.

Exercises of CircuitPython run on YD-ESP32-S3-EYE:
~ YD-ESP32-S3-EYE/CircuitPython 8, control LCD and Camera.

boochow/MicroPython-ST7735 is a modified version of GuyCarver's ST7735.py ST7735 TFT LCD driver , for micropython-esp32. This video show steps to prepare boochow/MicroPython-ST7735 driver and font files. Tested on  Espressif ESP32-C3-DevKitM-1 running MicroPython v1.19.1, to display on  1.8 inch 128x160 ST7735 SPI TFT .
