Not able to upload to esp32

A fatal error occurred: Failed to connect to ESP32: No serial data received.
For troubleshooting steps visit: Troubleshooting - ESP32 - — esptool.py latest documentation

i am using pop-os linux distro

  • start the IDE with no board connected
  • Tools > Ports. note the ports available
  • connect the ESP32
  • Tools > Ports. note the new port available
  • connect to that port, at 115200. reset the ESP32

if you see a wall of text, some of which is readable, you're in
the new port may be ACM0, AMA0, or ttyUSB0. one single time I got ACM1.
close the serial monitor before you upload
clear output and reset the ESP32 after a successful upload.

Take a look at Installing ESP32 Board in Arduino IDE 2.0 (Windows, Mac OS X, Linux)
