Failed uploading: uploading error: exit status 2

I tried installing all drivers: CH34x, CP210x and CP210x VCP.
But the problem continues, I programed this ESP32 C3 SuperMini in february and with the drivers it worked, now I tried to program and have those problems, I dont know what to do, pls help me

the code that I was tried to upload is the example BLINK and I have Arduino IDE 2.3.2.

Which board did you select in the Arduino IDE?

Try a slightly lower setting and try and use multiples of 115200

Please don't hijack threads @miguel_sanabria_ruiz. I have split your post out to its own topic.

Hijacking is against the Arduino forum rules. The reason is that it may sidetrack the discussion, even preventing the creator of the topic from getting the assistance they need. It also reduces your own chances of getting assistance.

I have also merged your cross-posts>.

Cross-posting is against the Arduino forum rules. The reason is that duplicate posts can waste the time of the people trying to help. Someone might spend a lot of time investigating and writing a detailed answer on one topic, without knowing that someone else already did the same in the other topic.

Repeated cross-posting can result in a suspension from the forum.

In the future, please only create one topic for each distinct subject matter.

This is basic forum etiquette, as explained in the "How to get the best out of this forum" guide. It contains a lot of other useful information. Please read it.

Thanks in advance for your cooperation.

Hi @miguel_sanabria_ruiz.

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.

I was having the same issue until I pressed both Boot and Reset while plugging the USB cable. Then release the reset and finally Boot.
It's working fine again.
