Hi all,
thanks in advance for a wonderful IDE for my little site projects.
I’m trying to use additional flags for the upload using esptool.py version 3.0.
I’m having a few issues and would like to change the option in esptool from
–after hard_reset to --after soft_reset.
However using upload_flags in the platformio.ini file is giving me errors.
1 attempt: upload_flags = --verbose
→ error unregognized argument: – verbose
2 attempt: upload_flags = --after soft_reset
→ usage: esptool [-h] [–chip {auto,esp8266,esp32,esp32s2,esp32s3beta2,esp32c3}]
[–port PORT] [–baud BAUD]
[–before {default_reset,no_reset,no_reset_no_sync}]
[–after {hard_reset,soft_reset,no_reset}] [–no-stub]
[–trace] [–override-vddsdio [{1.8V,1.9V,OFF}]]
[–connect-attempts CONNECT_ATTEMPTS]
{load_ram,dump_mem,read_mem,write_mem,write_flash,run,image_info,make_image,elf2image,read_mac,chip_id,flash_id,read_flash_status,write_flash_status,read_flash,verify_flash,erase_flash,erase_region,version,get_security_info}
…
esptool: error: argument operation: invalid choice: ‘–after soft_reset’ (choose from ‘load_ram’, ‘dump_mem’, ‘read_mem’, ‘write_mem’, ‘write_flash’, ‘run’, ‘image_info’, ‘make_image’, ‘elf2image’, ‘read_mac’, ‘chip_id’, ‘flash_id’, ‘read_flash_status’, ‘write_flash_status’, ‘read_flash’, ‘verify_flash’, ‘erase_flash’, ‘erase_region’, ‘version’, ‘get_security_info’)
*** [upload] Error 2
Seems like the option does not appear at the right location in the command line.
From the command line this works pretty nice for me …
C:\Users\sfreunde.platformio\penv\Scripts\python.exe C:\Users\sfreunde.platformio\packages\tool-esptoolpy\esptool.py --before default_reset --after soft_reset --chip esp8266 --port “COM5” --baud 921600 write_flash 0x0 .pio\build\ESPNowReceiver\firmware.bin
