Hi,
Well this is all about
--flash_modebecause some use four and others two wires access flash.Check this page https://github.com/espressif/esptool/wiki/SPI-Flash-Modes
and try to lower the --flash_freq to 40m
Try the 4MB file.

The following makes it work

XON/XOFF flow controlturned off. I did not even realize something like this was even added and turned on by-default.So the following allows me to connect:
espruino --config SERIAL_FLOW_CONTROL=false --no-ble -b 115200Thanks for all your hints @MaBe

It is still not usable completely...
I get less garbage with 80MHz SPI Speed. But the serial connection drops after a while for no apparent reason... It behaves similarly with 20MHz.
wifi.connect() makes it disconnect and not possible to connect anymore.
It almost looks like some kind of thermal watchdog resetting after a while. It is fairly warm when I touch it in just a few seconds of plugging in.

It's from here
https://www.aliexpress.com/item/32662942091.html?spm=a2g0s.9042311.0.0.5e184c4dZPSXYsBut the boards I got don't seem to be WAVGAT nor AI Thinker modules.

Got d1-mini clones and not able to flash them
Posted by
@opichals
Hi!
I wonder what should I do to fix this. I have got a few d1-mini clones with:
Connecting with
espruino --no-ble -b 115200I get gibberish and similarly as http://forum.espruino.com/comments/14147154/ I cannot connect properly.Hinted from the linked thread I tried all of the FLASH_MODEs and tried to connect to freshly flashed boards at 75600 bauds only to get the outputs below. Changing flash_freq, unplugging or anything else has no effect from what can I say.
Anybody dealt with this?
Thanks!
