symptom | A clean flash that verifies every hash and boots correctly, and then the board can never be reached by esptool again. The port path changes underneath you: the device stops enumerating as 303a:1001 Espressif USB JTAG/serial debug unit and comes back as 303a:4001 Espressif Systems Espressif Device, so the old /dev/serial/by-id path simply vanishes and any script pinned to it fails with FileNotFoundError. |
