The UNO R4 WiFi has a ESP32-S3 chip, which handles the USB-to-serial communication. The firmware for this chip can normally be upgraded [using Arduino IDE or Arduino Cloud](https://support.arduino.cc/hc/en-us/articles/9670986058780-Update-the-connectivity-module-firmware-on-UNO-R4-WiFi#iot), but if this is not possible the firmware can be restored using **espflash**.

* This can easily be done by connecting a female-to-female jumper wire between the two pins.

* If you don't have a female-to-female jumper wire, you can use some other pointy, conductive object (such as one end of a male-to-male jumper wire) and position to have contact with both pins. You can release the short after you've connected the board to your computer.
