I'm trying to flash the ESP32C3 image, but I think it's bootlooping
#ESP32-C3 bootlooping

I get ```ESP-ROM:esp32c3-20200918

If the bootloader/ESP-ROM is over 2 years old, is it worth trying to update that first?

Mind if I reply here ?
it works for me, can you triple check the board/module you are using ? What does it say on the back and what does it say at the tom and bottom of the module's shield ?

oh interesting, that's one we don't have I think
I encountered the same issue when trying to add another board that uses a MINI-1 H4 module

Is N4 referring to external flash?
sharp marsh
but I haven't had time to get back to it
yeah it's the size of the flash, but that's a different module than the one we have, Espressif's board and module names are confusing
true quarry
Ah okay, good to know it's not a random issue! I can try have a look into it, thanks!
sharp marsh
I think you should open an issue about supporting that board and module, with all the information on what is on the shield and back
