If we want to program the MCU without the original programmer with **CH340**, or if we want to program the second version of the board, then we need to follow the following instructions. We will need a USB to UART converter, such as **FT232**, **CP2102** or **CH340**. I have tested firmware uploading to the **ESP32-cam** with these converters. Uploading FW to the **second** version using **CH340** did not work for me. Uploading FW using **CH340** only worked for me for the first version of **ESP32-cam** board. For the next steps, I will use the **FT232RL** converter.
