IOError reading chip_id from OTP ROM of Adafruit Metro ESP32-S2 Express Beta, PID 4775

---

I just plugged in using my board for the first time and I'm following the instructions on this page https://learn.adafruit.com/adafruit-magtag/rom-bootloader however when I get this error:

[code]

I see a similar error reported on GitHub (https://github.com/espressif/esptool/issues/333) but don't know to what extent those suggestions apply to the Adafruit board?
