Flash size problem?

[SpectorHacked]

Hello everyone,
I am new to arduino programing and I want to build DIY IRobot to my room with wifi built it,
I am trying to use esp32s node-mcu and I am just starting with the coding and stuff, so I am trying to upload esp32 code to the board but I get this error:

 esptool.py v2.3.1
Connecting........_
Chip is ESP32D0WDQ6 (revision (unknown 0xa))
Features: WiFi, BT, Dual Core, VRef calibration in efuse
Uploading stub...

Changing baud rate to 921600
Changed.
Configuring flash size...

A fatal error occurred: Timed out waiting for packet content
A fatal error occurred: Timed out waiting for packet content

Any idea to why its happening? Thanks for helping me!

Here someone has the same problem: #1097

What version of arduino-esp32 are you running? It looks like your version of esptool is old and may not contain info for the chip you have.

So I need to upgrade the board? or the software I am using?

[lbernstone]

You need to upgrade the board in arduino IDE. https://github.com/espressif/arduino-esp32/blob/master/docs/arduino-ide/boards_manager.md

Problem isnt solved after upgrade the board in arduino IDE still
"A fatal error occurred: Time out waiting for packet content"
FYI:
The board it self is getting very very hot after trying to upload the code

[lbernstone]

ESP32 modules do run hot, but they shouldn't feel like a heating element. You might have a short somewhere on your board.
