In my case I'm using esptool.py for the ESP8266.

I even traced the signals on the line and nothing was wrong.
Still it almost always failed with the CH340 and always worked with a
CP2102.
I've never found out what exactly went wrong, just that a few more
retries (well I'd raised it to 100) helped.

When I first had to programm Atmel ARMs bossa wasn't available.
I'd used a Linux programm called sam7_pgm, which I had to fix to be
compiled on FreeBSD, but it worked fine for all the AT91SAM7*.
With the newer Atmel ARMs I'd switched over to the Atmel-ICE and
openocd.
