Hi, i'm trying to flash 'myapp' template to esp32. When i'm using dio mode i get

A fatal error occurred: Failed to enter RAM download mode (result was 0xff, 0x0)

But program works(ping).
When i'm using the qio mode it flash sucessfully, but i'm getting resets from issue 7 (https://github.com/espressif/esp-idf/issues/7)

We've reproduced this bug internally and there's a fix on its way.

In the meantime, you can ignore the error - the data is flashed 100% successfully in both cases.

Hi @feelfreelinux,

Thanks for reporting this. Are you using a ESP32 "Core" board with onboard USB?

Can you post the full esptool.py command line and output from esptool.py, please? If you're using a make flash type target, you can run make flash V=1 to see the full command line.

Wow, thanks! I'm waiting for fix

This should be now fixed in master. Please do a git pull origin master followed by git submodule update to get updated esptool.py.
