ESP32 Timed out waiting for packet header.

I will start with that I am new to ESP32 boards. I keep getting errors that pretty well start the same way.

esptool.py V2.6 Serial port COMXXX Port Busy.
Failed to Connect to esp32:Timed out wait for packet header.

Very annoying. I followed the instructions and I can't see a reference to this problem. Some guidance please.

Does the ESP32 port show up in the Arduino IDE when one is plugged in?

It drives you mad when seemingly simple stuff does not work, and it happened to me just now when using the ESP32.

The esptool.py error occurs when the ESP32 core cannot, for some reason, contact the serial port you have defined in the Arduino IDE.

Perhaps it should be mentioned in the instructions, but that would be something you should mention to Expressif, who produce the ESP32 core you are using, its not produced by Arduino.

Hola, encontraste alguna solución para este problema?
