programming the custom esp32 board

[AMAN KUMAR]

I have made a custom esp32 board. For schematic, i have used sparkfun link-https://www.sparkfun.com/products/15006
The problem is- the arduino code is not uploading on the custom esp32 board. So, how i can upload the code on esp32?
Is arduino bootloader is required first for bootloading the blank esp32? If yes, then what is the procedure for uploading the arduino bootloader on esp32?

Yes, for using the Arduino IDE you will need a bootloader. The ESP32 should come with a bootloader installed. You need to hold GPIO0 at logic LOW during reset to enter the bootloader.


Or program the ESP without a bootloader.

I have a project that requires an esp32 board, and I am going to use Arduino to write the program, is there anything I need to set up in advance or can I just write it directly?
I am a newbie.

You will need to install the ESp32 board and libraries in the Arduino IDE.

This is very detailed and very helpful to me, thank you very much！
