Hi
I own a Respeaker lite that I have flashed quite few times with ESPHome and it worked fine. Now it doesn’t connect anymore at Wifi, and when I try to reflash it using the USB-C port of the Xiao ESP on it it fails. I noticed sonething that looks strange: the serial port shows up as JTAG/serial debug unit and not the usual thing for an ESP32 with USBC.
Might it be the ESP that is dead ?
Thanks

Hi there,
No its in Bl mode. You must have wrote something funky to it…
Reset and check the com port should have changed numbers ,Go again with a blink sketch.
Do you have a drive popped up in file explorer.?
Be sure you have the correct BSP as well.

Thanks @PJ_Glasso well only some esphome sketches but I have succeeded to recover it. When connected on it in log mode I could see it was boot looping with crash as sketch in it was for an ESP with 16Mo while on Respeaker Lite it has only 8Mo of memory.
Now I’m looking for an up to date sketch for respeaker so I can use it as voice assistant in Home-Assistant. All sketches I can find including one on Seeed Wiki are outdated and don’t compile anymore with current ESPHome version.
I have tried also the sketch of the Voice Preview Edition but it looks there are quite some changes on GPIO used 
Hi there,
Yes I see the update has hosed some of the builds, May have to use older BSP or some other method. Espressif really stuck it to the world forcing the update to latest IDF.

More testing… 
Well in my case it’s more ESPHome as all features regarding Voice Assist are still quite new and quite regularly some updates are breaking I found at least a version of code that works with current version of ESPHome and also fine with HA
