user$ ./esptool.py --port /dev/tty.usbserial-A98AVCSI erase_flash
esptool.py v2.5.1
Serial port /dev/tty.usbserial-A98AVCSI

Now, unplug and plug-in the ground pin from the serial-adapter to reset the ESP MCU. If the following step does not work, try disabling the 3V3 pin instead - as the sudden external power up might not put the MCU in the upload right state.
