<p dir="auto">I'm having problems setting up my Atom Lite. I'm new to M5 hardware but I have some experience as developer.  Following the M5 documentation, I tried to flash the new firmware UIFlow v1.5.3 but I get the following error:</p>
<p dir="auto"><img src="/assets/uploads/files/1591340757198-screenshot-2020-06-05-at-09.04.31-resized.png" alt="0_1591340699120_Screenshot 2020-06-05 at 09.04.31.png" class=" img-fluid img-markdown" /></p>
<p dir="auto">I found some related topics of other users having a similar issue in the past, however, none of their solutions worked for me.</p>
<p dir="auto">I noticed that the <a href="http://esptool.py" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow ugc">esptool.py</a> (2.5) bundled in the M5Burner electron app was the root of my issue, so I tried a newer version 2.8. Using this new version I had no issues importing the module named serial.tools.list_ports.</p>
<p dir="auto">As the M5Burner wraps the esptool I tried to flash my Atom Lite with the latest esptool version (2.8) reusing the command shown on the above screenshot.</p>

<p dir="auto">Based on the above output I think that the flashing was ok, but still, I can't connect my Atom Lite to the UIFlow IDE (Online/Desktop)</p>
<p dir="auto">I get this error in both cases:<br />

<blockquote>
<p dir="auto">you could pip install a pyserial module to solve it.</p>
</blockquote>
<p dir="auto">I tried that but the problem persists. As a quick fix, I just flashed it using a window virtual machine.</p>
<blockquote>
<p dir="auto">the LED always RED?  which program are you use?</p>
</blockquote>
<p dir="auto">Yes, but after I flashed the new firmware everything is behaving well.</p>
<blockquote>
<p dir="auto">which program are you use?</p>
</blockquote>
<p dir="auto">It turned RED, after I tried to flash it with the newer esptool (2.8) as I showed in my initial topic</p>
<blockquote>
<p dir="auto">we will fix this bug in next version.</p>
</blockquote>
<p dir="auto">🤞🏻</p>
<p dir="auto">Have a nice day</p>
