Hi @w_roo_ver_1. This error might be caused by having the wrong port selected from the Tools > Port menu in Arduino IDE.

Please perform this experiment to verify that the port you have selected is your Arduino board:

  1. Disconnect the USB cable of the Arduino board from your computer.
  2. Select Tools > Port from the Arduino IDE menus.
  3. Take note of the ports, if any, listed in the menu.
  4. Close the Tools menu.
    :exclamation: The ports list is only updated when the Tools menu is re-opened, so this step is essential.
  5. Connect the Arduino board to your computer with a USB cable.
  6. Select Tools > Port from the Arduino IDE menus. - If a new port is listed in the menu, that is the port of your Arduino board.

Select that port from the menu and try uploading again.

If the upload still fails, or if no new port appeared after you plugged the Arduino board into your computer, add a reply here to let us know and we'll investigate the problem further.

Already tested with interchanging the port.Same error persists.

Please try this:

  1. Select Sketch > Upload from the Arduino IDE menus.
  2. Watch the black output panel at the bottom of the Arduino IDE window until you see this text printed:
    Connecting...
  3. Press and hold the button on your ESP32 board.
    ⓘ if your board has multiple buttons, you might have to do some trial and error to determine which is the one you need to press.
  4. Wait about one second.
  5. Release the button.

The upload should now finish successfully.

Tried with both the button pressed and upload the same error
the error message is

Unfortunately I don't have any other ideas about what might be causing this problem. Hopefully one of the other forum helpers will be able to provide a solution.

Okay Thank You!!!
