Program ESP32-CAM via FTDI without manual reset?

[feklee]

When programming the ESP32-CAM with an FTDI, I proceed as follows:

• Connect IO0 to GND.
• Reset the ESP32-CAM. (by cutting power)
• Run: python2 $(which idf.py) -p /dev/ttyUSB0 flash --baud 2000000

Afterwards, to monitor output:

• Remove IO0 from GND.
• Reset the ESP32-CAM. (as above)
• Run: python2 $(which idf.py) -p /dev/ttyUSB0 monitor

Is there a way to do all that without touching any cables or buttons?
