      Add a small capacitor like 2,2uF between Ground and RST

        Can confirm. Similar issue to the old 8266.
        Ripple on the RST pin causing resets whilst communicating. I used a 10uF successfully after trying all available CP210X drivers without success.

          Can we solder a permanent 2.2uF small capacitor INSIDE the box or ... ?

            I've got the same problem.

            By adding a capacitor, I was also able to solve the issue. But for me this looks more like a weak reset circuit in the M5Stack board rather than a drive issue. At leat adding the capacitor is is more a workaround rather than a solution.

              One nice way for a permanent fix would be to solder the capacitor inside of the Proto board with extenasion:

              https://www.aliexpress.com/item/M5Stack-Official-Stock-Offer-Proto-Module-Proto-Board-with-Extension-Bus-Socket-for-Arduino-ESP32-Development/32843231933.html

              But this is not sold seperatly at all.

                If you do not have a capacitor available, you can also try to set the "Upload Speed" to 115200 in Arduino IDE.
                Of course the uploads are longer, but it did the job for me : i did not have any upload error since

                I also installed the latest CP210x Windows driver (v10.1.1 for Windows 10) but i don't think this is necessary
