esptool.FatalError.Time out waiting for packet header

[SemiTok2]

Arduino: 1.8.19 (Windows 8.1), Board: "NodeMCU 0.9 (ESP-12 Module), 160 MHz, Flash, Disabled (new aborts on oom), Disabled, All SSL ciphers (most compatible), 32KB cache + 32KB IRAM (balanced), Use pgm_read macros for IRAM/PROGMEM, 4MB (FS:2MB OTA:~1019KB), v2 Lower Memory, Disabled, None, Only Sketch, 115200"

Executable segment sizes:

ICACHE : 32768 - flash instruction cache

IROM : 401240 - code in flash (default or ICACHE_FLASH_ATTR)

IRAM : 28968 / 32768 - code in IRAM (IRAM_ATTR, ISRs...)

DATA : 1504 ) - initialized variables (global, static) in RAM/HEAP

RODATA : 2252 ) / 81920 - constants (global, static) in RAM/HEAP

BSS : 26248 ) - zeroed variables (global, static) in RAM/HEAP

Sketch uses 433964 bytes (41%) of program storage space. Maximum is 1044464 bytes.

Global variables use 30004 bytes (36%) of dynamic memory, leaving 51916 bytes for local variables. Maximum is 81920 bytes.
