A process is already in execution

[MiracelVip]

I can't execute any command on the REPL and always get the error "A Process is already in execution". I Also can't open files which are on the ESP32

The only way I found is reflashing the firmware

Have you tried restarting ESP32-MPY-Jama?

Sometimes I have the same problem and have to restart ESP32-MPY-Jama. I don't think it's a problem with ESP32. The issue is more likely related to the communication between the ESP32 and ESP32-MPY-Jama.

For me, the problem occurs mainly when the ESP32 is reset several times in a short period of time. It is not necessary to flash it again.

I have the same problem with an Esp32 S3 dev card. Restarting the app can sometimes bring functionality back, but after an edit or two it's back to "A process is in execution..." again. I'm now using Thonny IDE which is a bit heavy on the eyes, but works reliably.
