Accidetanly ran eFuse disable on ESP32-S3-BOX3

[Patriciu02]

Straight to the point - I was working on a student project and I flashed and ran the following method and now I cannot update the firmware, even with holding BOOT and then pressing RESET. Nothing helps. What should I do?

Code: Select all

void disable_jtag()
{
    esp_efuse_disable_rom_download_mode();
    gpio_hold_dis(GPIO_NUM_40);
    gpio_hold_dis(GPIO_NUM_41);
    gpio_reset_pin(GPIO_NUM_40);
    gpio_reset_pin(GPIO_NUM_41);
}

I was not cautious enough to double check what the LLM gave me.
Despite the method's name I am wondering whether I can use JTAG for firmware flash. Maybe only UART is affected...
Please, I need a piece of advice.

Device: ESP32-S3-BOX-3
IDF version: 5.0.8

Was trying to flash via JTAG but I am getting:
"OpenOCD is not running, do you want to launch it?"

and when trying to launch:
