Setting efuse to ESP32-S3 to enable DFU on boot press.

[chegewara]

1. I think i was not very precise about using zadig: DFU on esp32S3 is on interface 2, so to install driver you have to select "Options->List all devices"
2. i have no option to test DFU with windows because its not working with VM, but my S3 is not a regular COM port and i can select it to do DFU
3. here is website i am using: https://esp32.eu.org/esp32s2/dfu-util
4. i think the easiest and quickest way to confirm S3 is broken or not to test with linux; my S3 works perfectly fine after burn efuse
5. its driver state after installing driver

I have the same problem here.

After burning eFuse Bit USB_PHY_SEL, ESP32-S3 doesn't show up any more at the USB port of the PC.

ESP32-S3-WROOM-1-N8R8
ESP-IDF v5.0-beta1-829-g3f2f35bd5e

The UART console shows that ESP32-S3 is in DFU mode:

Code: [Select all] [Expand/Collapse]

1. ESP-ROM:esp32s3-20210327
2. Build:Mar 27 2021
3. rst:0x1 (POWERON),boot:0x20 (DOWNLOAD(USB/UART0))
4. waiting for download

But it doesn't show up as USB device at the PC. I used the commands lsusb and dfu-util -l.

Is it possible that your ESP32-S3 chip was manufactured before Date Code 2219 ?

Check this Security Advisory:

So, if you have burned USB_PHY_SEL eFuse, then in bootloader USB-OTG will be connected by default, but if EFUSE_DIS_USB_OTG_DOWNLOAD_MODE was already set at the factory then maybe USB interface is not activated at all and there is nothing you can do.
Could someone confirm such scenario?

In my case the date code is 2219 and ESP32-S3 does not appear as DFU USB device as described above.
