 ==== Hardware Flash ====
-Hardware flash can be performed with a 3.3 V USB to TTL interface that provides RXD, TXD, RTS (Ready to Send), and DTR (Data Terminal Ready) signals (i.e., a 6-pin connector with the appropriate signals). Numerous inexpensive USB to TTL cables and interfaces are not capable of doing this, check carefully before investing in a tool to perform this.

 The [[https://1bitsquared.com/products/tigard|Tigard Protocol Tool]] works very nicely, though it is massively overkill in that it has many more capabilities than are required.

 **Note:** USB to TTL interfaces are available with 5 V, 3.3 V, or selectable voltage. The ESP32 //must// be used with 3.3 V interfaces //only//! Ensure that your cable or device is configured for 3.3 V before connecting it to the controller board, or your ESP32 may be permanently damaged.
