How can I program esp32 after assembly on a PCB?

We have a project on new production which is based on PCB including esp32. How can our hardware engineer program it after PCBA process by supplier?
  • Jumper the device to start into the serial boot loader, connect the UART to an off-board USB-UART adapter,
  • Run the well-known python tool for downloading just as you would with the dev board.

Or get the chip to tristate the flash pins, contact them with something else and directly write the flash.

Or program the flash chip before soldering it in place.

Next time around have a connector, edge fingers, or pads for a pogo-pin spring contact jig.

What Others Are Asking

How do I determine the traces width when designing a PCB?

Our team are developing a portable medical device with a small size, so we need a small PCB. How do I determine the traces width when designing a PCB? Actually we want it as narrow as possible to fit the device, is it OK?

How can I electrically isolate a PCB from a heat sink?

I have a set of LED driving lights for motorcycle that must be wired through a ground-leg pulse width modulation dimmer. The problem is the mounting bracket for the lights is grounded, so the lamp shorts to ground through the motorcycle chassis and the PWM dimmer cant dim the lamps. How do I handle this problem?
