Supported boards and recovery
The initial target is the TRMNL 7.5″ DIY kit / Seeed EE04, with XIAO ESP32-S3 Plus and an 800 × 480 monochrome panel. E1001 and E1002 images aren't available. Other ESP32-S3 boards need their own firmware.
If a board doesn't appear over USB, try a data cable, close serial monitors, and press a board button to wake it. Hold Right for five seconds to reopen pairing, or Left + Right for ten seconds to forget Wi-Fi.
