PROBLEM OF Using UART0 as two functions.

Hello ,I hope this message finds you well.I have question Is it correct to use the same UART for both flashing (using an FTDI) and communication with a GSM module by using a switch on the GSM TX and RX pins, as shown in the schematic?Thank you in advance for your time and support.Best regards,

You are absolutely need to flash with TXD0 RXD0. I personally leave that open to programmer and use UART1 for comms instead. UART1 can be any pin as there is GPIOMUX within esp32. Again check datasheet and ESP-IDF documentations. You can use UART0, by holding SIM_800L on reset or use a mosfet to switch off the module while programming.

I have already set up the switcher on the GSM module, but when I test the communication between the ESP32 and the GSM module using the AT command, it doesn't work.

I found with the multimeter that the VDD_EXT is 0V.😔
