esptool not recognizing esp32-S2 chip

[marrmaddox]

I'm on Win10, Arduino, trying to write a file to an esp32-s2 and get the message below. It also fails when using the command line esptool.py.

esptool.py v3.0-dev
Serial port COM3
Connecting.....

A fatal error occurred: This chip is ESP32-S2 not ESP32. Wrong --chip argument?
SPIFFS Upload failed!

This error means that esptool.py was passed the "--chip esp32" command line argument, but the chip is actually ESP32-S2.

Are you sure the Arduino settings are correct for an ESP32-S2 target?

Are you using the fs plugin from @me-no-dev or @lorol? https://github.com/lorol/arduino-esp32fs-plugin library has been updated to support esp32-s2

I was using me-no-dev, but lorol worked! Thank you so much, I 'wasted' two days on this and was dreading going back to the ESP32 and shift registers due to lack of usable ports with wifi.

Much appreciated! Happy holiday to you.

I also got same error message may I please know hoe to fix this? How to change chip to ESP32 S2 in configuration? This is my error message:

Did you select the S2 as your target?

Code: Select all

idf.py set-target esp32s2
