• Hi Robin, thanks for your response, to answer you questions in order:

    • Otherwise means I can connect to it via a terminal app, I still get garbage but the REPL is usable when I connect with "screen /my/port/here " for instance. If I do a reset(true) in the repl the restart happens and I get no garbage (I only get garbage on connection), again only via a terminal session.

    • I cannot use the IDE left hand (or right hand at all). The reset bit is a hold over and should not be considered (I simply didn't clear out the editor before screenshot. When in the IDE, neither left or right pane worked as the device is always stuck in "connecting" mode. The splash loads but otherwise the repl is hung.

    • Yes, I erase using the same baud as I flash too (I don't know if that makes a difference)

    • Yes and also later threads where "4m-c1" is used (based on observing my chip code and using the reference in the docs). Interestingly my board(s) needs dio, not qio to be set to flash properly.

    • OSX (esptool v2.8)
