I cannot flash bootloader onto my board

Official Hardware Nano Family Nano ESP32

I previously flashed micropython onto my board, and now I'm trying to flash the default bootloader in the arduino IDE. When I try to do this I get the following error:

A fatal error occurred: Failed to connect to ESP32-S3: No serial data received.

Failed chip erase: uploading error: exit status 2

I've searched for like 20 minutes on how to fix it, but I can't find anything.

Have you made sure you have the right serial port and if you do is it the only one open?

3

It's connected to COM6 which is the only port open

4

Have you made sure you have no other windows open from previous attempts.

5

I've closed and re-opened the IDE and I still get the same error

6

There is a button sequence you can push and hold to reboot the board I don't off hand know what it is but you can search it up and try that.

7

Ok, I'll try that

Let me know how it goes.

I successfully got it into the flash mode, but I'm getting a new error now:

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)
Note: This error originates from pySerial. It is likely not a problem with esptool, but with the hardware connection or drivers.

is it an Arduino Nano ESP32 or another ESP32 board?
If that's the case we have a guide for it
