Using with Arduino IDE
Blink
Now you can upload your first blink sketch!
Plug in the ESP32-S2/S3 board and wait for it to be recognized by the OS (just takes a
few seconds).
Select ESP32-S2/S3 Board in Arduino IDE
Launch ESP32-S2/S3 ROM Bootloader
ESP32-S2/S3 support in Arduino uses native USB which can crash. If you ever
DON'T see a serial/COM port, you can always manually enter bootloading mode.
This bootloader is in ROM, it is 'un-brickable' so you can always use this

The screenshot shows Metro S2 but you
may have a different board. Make sure the
name matches the exact product you
purchased. If you don't see your board,
make sure you have the latest version of
the ESP32 board support package
