Board

Wemos S2 mini

Device Description

Just the board connected with usbc connected to pc

Hardware Configuration

Nothing

Version

latest development Release Candidate (RC-X)

IDE Name

Arduino ide v2

Operating System

Arch Linux

Flash frequency

Lolin s2 default

PSRAM enabled

yes

Upload speed

Lolin s2 default

Description

I'm using the Lolin s2 mini board in arduino ide, with usb cdc enabled .
After uploading this program while in dfu mode, If i try to re-upload it in cdc mode it fails with an error.

While if I first open the serial monitor and wait for it to receive some messages, and then try to upload it works.

Sketch

void setup() {
  Serial.begin(9600);
}

void loop() {
  Serial.println("Hello");
  delay(50);
}

I'm not sure how to test the issue.

I can help by describing how the S2 USB is supposed to work:

  • S2 USB port only works using the TinyUSB stack. It is enabled in Arduino when "IDE Menu->Tools->USB CDC On Boot:" is "Enabled".
  • DFU Mode can also be activated by using the IDE Menu, but, again, DFU support is also part of TinyUSB.
  • Once "USB CDC On Boot" is enabled and a new sketch is downloaded and executed, the port will show up in the OS. It can be used to download a new sketch that keeps "USB CDC On Boot" also enabled.
  • Lolin S2 Mini board has only the USB port available. In that case when the firmware that the S2 Mini already has not been set with "USB CDC On Boot: Enabled", it is necessary to put the S2 into download mode. This is achieved by holding the BOOT button pressed and pulsing the EN/RESET button once. When this is done, a USB port will be enumerated in the OS and it can be used to download a new firmware.

Please describe the steps you have followed when you see the issue. I can replicate them here and check what is going on.
Thanks.

Not sure if this is the issue, but the USB CDC port only shows up (is enumerated by the OS) when CDC is enabled and DFU is disabled. If this is the case, in order to download a new firmware into the S2 Mini, it is necessary to put it into download mode, by holding BOOT and pulsing EN/RESET.

Yes, indeed something has changed from 3.0.7 to 3.1.0-RC1.
S2 could have both CDC and DFU enabled and CDC would work fine in 3.0.7.
With 3.1.0-RC1 and RC2 when CDC and DFU are enabled, CDC doesn't work and the host doesn't enumerate the USB port.

@me-no-dev -- would you know about any change that would result in blocking CDC when DFU is enabled?

These are the setting that I am using, even the Lolin s2 mini settings don't work.

Using the 3.0.7 version doesn't solve the issue.

I'm using the Lolin s2 mini board in arduino ide, with usb cdc enabled . After uploading this program while in dfu mode, If i try to re-upload it in cdc mode it fails with an error.

When I said this I meant that the first time I upload the firmware while in download mode (GPIO0 low while toggling reset).

What I actually do to replicate this issue:

  1. Set Board Settings as listed above
  2. Connect the board in download mode
  3. Upload the sketch (it works)
  4. Reset
  5. If now I try to upload the sketch another time it won't work
  6. If I try to upload it with the serial monitor running and printing messages it works.

@SuGlider 3.0.7 and RC2 should have the exact same TinyUSB setup

I have this this same problem.

Using core 2.0.17, with CDC on boot enabled, I put the ESP32 in boot mode, upload a simple blink sketch, and then power cycle the device. I can then upload as much as I want over USB in this case.

When I update to 3.0.7, and try to upload with the same process, after I power cycle the device upload fails every time.

I tried with both 3.1.3 and 3.2.0-rc2.
In both cases upload only works if the serial monitor is open.
This is the error i get on 3.2.0-rc2 when uploading without the serial monitor open. (The same error is present in 3.1.3)

It may be a problem related to esptool.py rights to open the /dev/ttyACM1 within Linux Arch.
Could you please execute ls -l /dev/ttyACM1 and check if the file has o+rw?
The Wemos S2 mini shall be connected using USB OTG port, which is the default USB port.

A work around for the Wemos S2 mini is to hold 0 Button and then pulse the RST button to force the board to enter into Boot Load mode.

Is there a /dev/ttyUSB0 port available?

ls -l /dev/tty[AU]*

No, there is no /dev/ttyUSB0, only ACM.
The permissions should be right.

I know that on Wemos S2 mini you can go in boot load mode, but it takes a lot of time to do it every time you upload.
Using esp-idf I don't have this issue, i can do idf.py flash and it works every time.

Running
esptool.py --port /dev/ttyACM1 chip_id
After flashing the board with esp-idf returns:

esptool.py v4.8.1
Serial port /dev/ttyACM1

So I guess the issue is within the image flashed by arduino-esp

Thanks for the detailed report. What is the esptool.py version that your Linux/IDF uses when it works fine? What is the Python version?

I see that Arduino runs some Virtual Env Python version. Would it be the same as in IDF?
.virtualenvs/espenv/bin/esptool.py
.virtualenvs/espenv/lib/python3.12

It may be necessary to update the tools in .virtualenvs/espenv/

My virtualenv (espenv) uses Python 3.12.4 and esptool 4.8.1, arduino uses the same version of esptool
