Upload fails with ESP32-S2 native USB

[jonasniesner]

When trying to use esp-web.tools to upload to an esp32-s2 with its onboard usb, the upload fails.

On Windows (Chrome or Edge), I get the following error

And in 1 out of 10 times, the upload works, but only if i hold the GPIO 0 button. Uploading to ESP32 or Esp32-S3 works with no problems.

On Linux, I get this error:

Is this an issue of esptool-js ?

as wrote in the issue linked by ssieb, using web tools 8.0.6 somewhat fixes the problem.
hard to say why newer esp web tools 9.2.1 works worse than the older 8.0.6
