Hi
I just ran the standard arduino blink sketch on an ESP32 dev module. but as I didnt have an LED handy
I used a piezo buzzer instead , it worked fine, beep, beep as expected . I then swapped the board to an
ESP32 S3 dev kit C-1 v1.1 , set the board as ESP32 S3 dev module changed the port and did upload
it said it found the board and started uploading. After the upload finished the arduino ide said  this …..
Sketch uses 227477 bytes (17%) of program storage space. Maximum is 1310720 bytes.
Global variables use 13296 bytes (4%) of dynamic memory, leaving 314384 bytes for local variables. Maximum is 327680 bytes.

So I assumed all OK  but, it didnt bleep
 
 
I opened the serial monitor and found things like this which repeated over and over

Although it was already putting itself into boot mode when i started downloading I tried manually putting it into boot  but that didnt help
no matter which example sketch I try . none run on the ESP32 S3 yet they run fine on the esp32 dev module
 
I have tried on  IDEs 1.8.19   2.0.0 and 2.0.3 but all do the same
 
Any ideas as I  bought 3 of these  S3 boards and they are sitting idle till I can get something loaded
