Upload from PlatformIO on an Acer laptop.

When I try to upload to a T-Display S3 It fails with the following:

It should be working. I have tested the exact same setup project with a official Espressif ESP32-S3-DevkitC-1 and it works/uploads just fine.

And platformio.ini might be helpful:

[env:esp32-s3-devkitc-1]
platform = espressif32
board = esp32-s3-devkitc-1
framework = espidf
board_build.flash_mode = dio

Please, any ideas how to fix this.

Enter boot mode manually. The operation is to hold down the BOT button and then click the RST button.

I've had problems related to timeouts, you can change the esptool config to timeout more slowly, but to be honest it's usually a sign of a poor cable, or having peripherals attached while flashing (usb power on laptop not enough). I was tracking this issue, and I modified my loader.py file, but this is the new help page about using a custom config file to modify timeouts so you don't modify any esptool script files and instead create a user override config file: https://docs.espressif.com/projects/esptool/en/latest/esp32/esptool/configuration-file.html I'm not helping myself, by having libUSBcap (packet capture for usb) running which increases timeout likelyhood, plus peripherals attached. I basically doubled or quadrupled some of the timings and that increased my success rate to almost 100% for small firmwares or above 80% for the larger 2MB firmwares.

I have the same issue, and solution to enter boot manually makes the trick. In my situation I guess serial port was spammed by Serial.print() from running sketch. It seems that Arduino IDE is more stable in this matter than platformio.
