ESP32-S3, ESP-IDE (Eclipse), DFU-utils launched instead of flash command

[landre]

Hi all,

I just have an odd problem for two days.
I can't flash the target anymore with the espressif-ide. It tries to flash the MCU through the dfu-utils instead of the classic flash command.
How to come back to the classic flash command through serial?

Also, the compilation and binary creation run smoothly and I can flash without issue through the idf.py -p COM3 flash command in powershell..

Thanks for the help,
Best regards,

Loïc


Target:
ESP32-S3 WROOM1 N4R2 connected through USB-SERIAL-JTAG interface on custom board (work OK for 5 month).
EspressifIDE 2.6.0,
esp-idf-v4.4.2

Eclipse launch configuration arguments:
C:\Espressif\frameworks\esp-idf-v4.4.2\tools\idf.py -p ${serial_port} flash

Anyone ?

[ESP_Roland]

Have you seen https://github.com/espressif/idf-eclips ... hrough-usb?

The image shows the "Flash over" option.

Hi Roland,

Thank you for your reply.

Unfortunately I don't have this option. I only have a tickbox "Flash over JTAG".
This is certainly due to an old version of ESP-IDE, I have 2.6.0...
Is there any other way to change this setting in the old way? Via cmake or SDKconfig?

Best regards,

Loïc
