Flashing without pressing the "Boot" button

[vurguuz]

Hi, first of all thanks for the project which works perfectly.

Since I'm putting my Waveshare ESP32-S3-Zero board in a hammond box I was wondering if there was any way to flash updates to the board without having to press the "Boot" button?

Googling around I haven't really found any solution for the waveshare.

When I plug in the flashed board to my PC without pressing the "Boot" button, it just tries to establish a connection over and over without any luck.

Hi.
The problem you have is that when using the USB port as a host, it disables the USB port for programming.
The boot button stops the code from running so that the USB port is not used.

There would be some difficult solutions, like connecting the UART serial pins to a PC, but that will be ugly.
Another ooption would be that I add the ability to update using WiFi. I have done this before for a different project with ESP32-S3.
I can look at this, but I have some other work to finish on it first.
