Hello and thank you for reading my problem. I am trying to upload a code in my ESP32 Cam using a ESP32 Cam programmer board and the arduino ide. However i get the error " A serial exception error occurred: Cannot configure port, something went wrong . Original message: PermissionError(13, 'A device attached to the system is not functioning.', None, 31) ".
Although I have checked my cable and my board, I still cannot figure out any solution. Can someone please help me out ?
Which version of the IDE are you using ?
It is version 2.3.3

Permission error is self defining, fix your permissions.
Do you see dots (.........) in the serial monitor at the time of uploading the code? If yes, please press RST button immediately. I am currently using ESP32 CAM. And I often face this problem and solve it this way.
No. Even if the dots appeared, I'd have pressed the RST Button like you said.
However, I did update my CH340 driver. The upload then worked !
