Confirm your flashing tool is set to the correct speed (typically 115200 ) with 8 Data bits , 1 Stop bit , and No Parity .
For users who have tried all standard troubleshooting methods without success, consider these more technical approaches: You may need to force the chip into
Since the box is asking for a UART connection, you can often bypass the physical serial port by using a USB-to-USB Male-to-Male cable Get the Firmware
