I am trying to flash the Micropython Firmware on my ESP32 via USB via the CMD (admin mode) on Windows 8.
This is what im getting:



C:UsersAdministratorDownloads>esptool.py --port COM3  --baud 460800 write_flash --flash_size=detect 0 esp32-20190207-v1.10-54-g43a894fb4.bin
esptool.py v2.6
Serial port COM3
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "C:Program FilesPython36Scriptsesptool.py-script.py", line 11, in <module>
load_entry_point('esptool==2.6', 'console_scripts', 'esptool.py')()
File "c:program filespython36libsite-packagesesptool.py", line 2952, in _main
main()
File "c:program filespython36libsite-packagesesptool.py", line 2646, in main
esp = ESPLoader.detect_chip(each_port, initial_baud, args.before, args.trace)
File "c:program filespython36libsite-packagesesptool.py", line 258, in detect_chip
detect_port = ESPLoader(port, baud, trace_enabled=trace_enabled)
File "c:program filespython36libsite-packagesesptool.py", line 222, in __init__
self._port = serial.serial_for_url(port)
File "c:program filespython36libsite-packagesserial__init__.py", line 88, in serial_for_url
instance.open()
File "c:program filespython36libsite-packagesserialserialwin32.py", line 62, in open
raise SerialException("could not open port {!r}: {!r}".format(self.portstr, ctypes.WinError()))
serial.serialutil.SerialException: could not open port 'COM3': PermissionError(13, 'Zugriff verweigert*', None, 5)



  • Zugriff verweigert == Permission denied


What can i do here? Im not sure if this is an error on the OS side or on the script - i dont know what could possibly deny me permission when im using admin CMD?




  • i read through this: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/6105182/error-while-opening-port-in-python
    but turning the COM port off and on did not help.

  • Is the port perhaps in use by another program? Though the error message would probably be different, hm.

  • oh, i had upycraft open, but i thought it would be "disconnected" by deactivating and reactivating the port in device manager. thanks, i didnt think of that
