It means that your camera OVX is not connected properly to your ESP32 board or you have the wrong pin assignment in the code.

Sometimes, unplugging and plugging the FTDI programmer multiple times or restart the board multiple times, might solve the issue.

Make sure you select the right camera module in your projects. You just need to uncomment the right camera module and comment all the others:

//#define CAMERA_MODEL_WROVER_KIT
//#define CAMERA_MODEL_M5STACK_PSRAM
#define CAMERA_MODEL_AI_THINKER

If you are trying to upload code and you're getting that error it means that the board is not in flashing mode. There are two modes that the ESP can be in - booting or flashing. Your error shows that it is in the booting mode.

You have to ground the IO0 pin before you boot to activate the flashing mode. When you do that, the serial monitor will show 'Waiting for download'. Then you can proceed with flashing.
