@Knobsi Hi, your question is already two years old. I guess you'll have found the answer, however I just came across it today. I want to share with you an experience I had yesterday:

Suddenly I encountered a problem after upgrading the Arduino IDE from v2.3.4 to v2.3.5.

The board that I use is an M5 Atom Echo which has an ESP32-PICO processor.

After compiling and building a sketch, that compiled, built, and ran OK with v2.3.4,
It crashed after compiling and building and running with v2.3.5.

In the crash report I saw "DIO".
In Arduino v2.3.5 I checked the setting: > Tools > Flash Mode.
I saw that the Flash Mode was set for: "QIO".
After I changed the setting Flash Mode it to DIO, re-compiling and building, the sketch ran OK.

Regards,
@Paulskpt

getting the same here on mine . reflash does not correct.

@felmue I was struggling to figure out why my FIRE was restarting each time I tried to use the UART port... Using Port B worked though.

Thanks for the suggestion!

@konacurrents Note, I have a similar startup issue with the Atom Socket and H-Driver.

Anyone know how to stop it starting before I get a change to stop it?

@PaulSchulz Same here, maybe they forgot or a workaround can be to get rtc time and add 30 min to display correct time, hope its updated soon
