S3 is not accessible after going into deep sleep

[BatsIhor]

Hi there, I have uploaded my sketch with deep sleep after showing a text and now I can't upload anything else as right after it displays image it goes into deep sleep and disappear from list of devices.

I tried to press reset "on time" so I'm able to update code but hope there are other options to make sure I can upload without trying 10 times.

Can I put it into flash mode somehow?

Thanks

if you use "lilygo-t5-47-plus" with S3 in Arduino, you need to set up "CDC Enabled" in Arduino. If you use platformio you need to use:

build_flags =
    -D BOARD_HAS_PSRAM
    -D CONFIG_IDF_TARGET_ESP32S3=1
    -D CORE_DEBUG_LEVEL=0
    -D ARDUINO_USB_MODE=1
    -D ARDUINO_USB_CDC_ON_BOOT=1 

I had the same problem and I sorted it out.

But more important: if you send it to sleep immediately after it did the job, your serial monitor might NOT have enough time to realise that the S3 is connected - try to add i.e. delay(10000); before it goes to sleep and check then - later you can remove of course see below - when it goes to sleep you don't see it at all as power is off

thanks for the help, what worked for me was to disconnect and connect very fast, during the initialization the port is still recognizable. During that small time window, I uploaded a different example.
