Hi! This error often happens due to unstable USB connections or driver issues. Try these steps: use a different USB cable (preferably a high-quality, data-capable one), connect directly to your Mac’s USB port (avoid hubs), and restart your Mac before uploading. Also, check that your ESP32-S3 drivers are properly installed and up to date. Lowering the upload baud rate (e.g., from 921600 to 115200) in the Arduino IDE can improve stability. If it persists, try uploading from another computer to rule out hardware issues. Hope this helps!

You're clearly doing everything right—this is a common ESP32 upload issue. Since the Core2 boots and shows output in Serial Monitor, the USB connection works, but upload mode isn't triggering.

Here’s what to try (if you haven’t already):

1. Hold Boot Button (if available): While uploading, hold the reset/boot button until upload starts. Some Core2s need manual bootloader mode.

2. Try 115200 Baud: You've tried this—stick with it; higher speeds can fail on some USB ports.

3. Check CP210x or CH340 Driver: Reinstall the correct USB-to-serial driver for the Core2.

If none of that helps, your Core2’s USB-UART chip might be defective. Exchange it through M5Stack support.

The W5500 Ethernet library for Arduino does not natively support setting a DHCP hostname in its standard implementation. If you're using Ethernet.h, it lacks this functionality. For advanced DHCP options like hostname, consider using the EthernetENC or UIPEthernet library, which offer extended DHCP support. Alternatively, you’d need to modify the DHCP client in the library to include the hostname in the DHCP request packet manually.

The rom/miniz.h error occurs because newer board definitions (3.2.x) removed legacy ESP32 support. Downgrading to 2.1.x works, but to fix it permanently:

Manual fix: Replace #include <rom/miniz.h> with #include <miniz.h> in pngle.c (as noted in the linked guide).

Disable auto-updates: In Arduino IDE, go to File > Preferences and uncheck "Check for updates on startup."

M5Stack isn’t abandoning older Cores, but newer SDKs drop deprecated APIs. If issues persist, stick with 2.1.x or modify the library.

It sounds like the 5V output on the M5Capsule may not be designed to supply higher current devices directly—30mA is very low. Unlike the M5GO, the Capsule likely has current-limited or protected output. You might try powering the camera from an external 5V source and just connect data lines to the Capsule. Also worth checking if there's a FET or regulator in the schematic limiting output.

170 mA at 5V does seem a bit high for QRCode2. Some heating is normal, especially under continuous or pulse operation. To reduce power consumption, try lowering the duty cycle or reducing the brightness if possible. Also, check if firmware updates offer power-saving modes. Good ventilation or a small heat sink can help with heat dissipation too. If it keeps overheating, it might be worth contacting the manufacturer for advice or possible defects.

Supporting UiFlow for C3 would be a valuable addition for the M5 community. It could streamline development and expand functionality. Hoping the team considers prioritizing this request soon.

This is a fantastic tool, it fills a real gap for those working with Adafruit GFX and custom fonts on Arduino/M5Stack. The interface is clean and easy to use

谢谢你的详细反馈，确实非常有价值。你提到的问题确实容易让初学者误解，尤其是在使用不同型号（如Atom Lite vs Atom S3R）时。建议文档中明确标注不同设备的引脚差异，并在示例代码中加上你说的注释说明，能大大提升用户体验。希望官方尽快更新网页和示例，减少后续用户的困扰。再次感谢你的分享！

It looks like the error may be related to a missing or incompatible binary for your Intel Mac. Try running M5Burner using Rosetta, or check if there’s an x64-compatible version of M5Burner available. Also, make sure you’ve given M5Burner full disk access in macOS settings. Reinstalling the app or using Terminal to manually erase and burn via esptool could also help.

It sounds like the battery may be dead or disconnected internally. Warning 22 usually points to a battery issue. Since it powers on with USB but not on its own, try opening the case carefully and checking the battery connection. If that looks fine, the battery might need replacing. You could also try a full reset by holding the power button for 6–10 seconds.
