Failed to get flash maps (4294967290)

sspaten · February 7, 2022, 8:52am

Running “Hello…” without SPIFFS OK.
Trying to use SPIFFS does not succeed. I use the “Build Filesystem Image” and “Upload Filesysem Image” in the platformIO menus.
This results in “Error: Failed to get flash maps (4294967290)!”

I found a similar link in Espressif:
Programming ESP32-C3-MINI-1 module using JTAG (OCD-390) · Issue #168 · espressif/openocd-esp32 · GitHub
with a similar problem, where they uploaded via the JTAG interface
openocd -f interface\jlink.cfg -f target\esp32c3.cfg -c “program_esp_bins build flasher_args.json verify exit”

However it will not work for me - is there another approach? Help will be greatly appreciated…

That doesn’t look good, please file an issue in Issues · platformio/platform-espressif32 · GitHub.

Debugging esp32s2

**Describe the bug** I am trying to use eclipse for esp32s2 (but esp32 works we…ll) bugging with default configs from [openocd debugging](https://github.com/espressif/idf-eclipse-plugin/blob/master/docs/OpenOCD%20Debugging.md), which not work both on my Linux and Windows PC, error message like below. Seems flash Info can't be correctly probed from Jtag. I also find solutions for me (but can't explain why): For Linux: modify flash size to `4MB` in menuconfig can fix ~~For Windonws: modify flash size not work, add `set ESP_FLASH_SIZE "4M"` in `target\esp32s2.cfg` can fix~~(not work now) **To Reproduce** Steps to reproduce the behavior: 1. build and flash hello_world 2. use eclipse for esp32s2 bugging with default configs from [openocd debugging](https://github.com/espressif/idf-eclipse-plugin/blob/master/docs/OpenOCD%20Debugging.md) **Environment Information:** Eclipse > About Eclipse > Installation Details > Configuration > Copy to Clipboard [eclipse install info.txt](https://github.com/espressif/idf-eclipse-plugin/files/6459037/eclipse.install.info.txt) **ESP-IDF Tools Information:** ``` Executing D:\.espressif\python_env\idf4.4_py3.8_env\Scripts\python.exe D:\esp\tools\idf_tools.py list * xtensa-esp32-elf: Toolchain for Xtensa (ESP32) based on GCC - esp-2020r3-8.4.0 (recommended, installed) * xtensa-esp32s2-elf: Toolchain for Xtensa (ESP32-S2) based on GCC - esp-2020r3-8.4.0 (recommended, installed) * xtensa-esp32s3-elf: Toolchain for Xtensa (ESP32-S3) based on GCC - esp-2020r3-8.4.0 (recommended, installed) * riscv32-esp-elf: Toolchain for 32-bit RISC-V based on GCC - 1.24.0.123_64eb9ff-8.4.0 (recommended, installed) * esp32ulp-elf: Toolchain for ESP32 ULP coprocessor - 2.28.51-esp-20191205 (recommended, installed) * esp32s2ulp-elf: Toolchain for ESP32-S2 ULP coprocessor - 2.28.51-esp-20191205 (recommended, installed) * cmake: CMake build system - 3.16.4 (recommended, installed) * openocd-esp32: OpenOCD for ESP32 - v0.10.0-esp32-20200709 (recommended, installed) * ninja: Ninja build system - 1.10.2 (recommended, installed) * idf-exe: IDF wrapper tool for Windows - 1.0.1 (recommended, installed) * ccache: Ccache (compiler cache) - 3.7 (recommended, installed) * dfu-util: dfu-util (Device Firmware Upgrade Utilities) - 0.9 (recommended, installed) ``` **IDF Eclipse Plugin Version:** ESPRESSIF SYSTEMS (SHANGHAI) CO., LTD ESP-IDF Eclipse Plugin 2.1.0.202104161244 com.espressif.idf.feature **Eclipse Error log:** ``` Open On-Chip Debugger v0.10.0-esp32-20200709 (2020-07-09-08:54) Licensed under GNU GPL v2 For bug reports, read http://openocd.org/doc/doxygen/bugs.html Started by GNU MCU Eclipse Info : Listening on port 6666 for tcl connections Info : Listening on port 4444 for telnet connections Error: libusb_open() failed with LIBUSB_ERROR_NOT_SUPPORTED Info : ftdi: if you experience problems at higher adapter clocks, try the command "ftdi_tdo_sample_edge falling" Info : clock speed 10000 kHz Info : JTAG tap: esp32s2.cpu tap/device found: 0x120034e5 (mfg: 0x272 (Tensilica), part: 0x2003, ver: 0x1) Info : esp32s2: Debug controller 0 was reset.

I found the reason - and it had absolutely no relevance to the problem description - neither to platformIO or Espressif. Please accept my deepest appologies - come get your beer…
The real reason was a terrible mess in my setup. I had two versions of python (not really a problem), two Espressif IDF`s on top of VS-code with platformIO, my IDF installation is on E: - with numerous irritating references to my windows userID. I deleted ALL old python references and installed all over.
That worked !!
