I have been following tutorials on the randomnerdtutorial website, in particular to build web pages.
The web pages are put in a data folder and they say to use thePlatform=>Build Filesystem Image and upload filesystem image options.
I have also been using VSC on a PI4, 64bit raspberry PI OS to develop the code.
The option was not available on my PI, but was on my MAC, until a recent update of VSC in raspberry PI OS.
I could build code for an ESP32.
I am having to use an ESP8266 for a similar project.
I can build and upload code to the ESP8266 but the Platform=> Build Filesystem Image option is missing, there is no Platform option at all.
As far as I can tell no one else has reported this problem.
Have I found a bug or am I missing something concerning the ESP8266?
Any suggestions as to what to try would be appreciated,
Steve
