In pre-bookworm Raspberry Pi OS, esptool can be install esptool directly, system-wide, using pip. This is no longer the case in the new Raspberry Pi OS (bookworm). From bookworm onwards, when using pip, packages must be installed into a Python virtual environment. (ref: https://www.raspberrypi.com/documentation/computers/os.html#installing-python-packages-using-apt ) This video show steps in  Esptool.py Documentation  to Install esptool inside Virtual Environment, on Raspberry Pi 5 running 64-bit Raspberry Pi OS (bookworm). - Create a virtual environment and choose its name, e.g. ‘esptoolenv’:   $ python -m venv esptoolenv - Activate the virtual environment:   $ source esptoolenv/bin/activate - Install the esptool.py within the active virtual environment:   $ pip install esptool - When you’re done, deactivate the virtual environment:   $ deactivate next: ~  Install CircuitPython firmware on Waveshare ESP32-S3-Zer...

Waveshare ESP32-S3-Zero   does not have a USB to UART chip mounted, you need to use the USB of the ESP32-S3 as the download interface and the Log print interface, and you need to enable the USB CDC when using the Arduino IDE . ~ ref:  https://www.waveshare.com/wiki/ESP32-S3-Zero This apply to  Nologo ESP32C3SuperMini also .

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...
