#32818 I have an ESP-01 and a LED connected to GPIO2. When I turn it on like that - both leds (red and blue) on the module light up and nothing works. It works if Ieave GPIO2 dangling and connect the LED a few seconds after the module boots. How do I make it boot nicely with the LED connected to GPIO2?

#32820 If GPIO2 is held LOW when booting, the ESP will enter into "firmware update mode" and will expect a firmware upload on the UART. You must make sure that GPIO2 will be held HIGH when booting (or at least unconnected, but that is unreliable), and you must design your circuit around that.
