Hi @anon39957957. I apologize for any inconvenience this bug has caused.

I'm not sure I understand your question. You can upload sketches from Arduino IDE to an ESP32 board. Did you try it, following the instructions I provided in [**post #7**](https://forum.arduino.cc/t/upload-error-exit-status-2-esp32-2024-again/1329772/7)?

Note that the workaround described by **@thornemann** in [**post #8**](https://forum.arduino.cc/t/upload-error-exit-status-2-esp32-2024-again/1329772/8) is an alternative workaround. You can use the one I provided if you want to use Arduino IDE, or the one **@thornemann** provided if you don't want to use Arduino IDE.
