I would like to boot ESP32-CAM or load the program from TF/SD card. Is that possible? Preferably, using Platform I/O.

As far as I know, you cannot directly upload the program from the TF card to your ESP32-CAM. Yeah, it is possible to use Arduino IDE to upload the program to ESP32-CAM. For that purpose, you'll need an FTDI programmer. So, it's possible to copy-paste a code from a TF card to a PC, and then upload that code to the ESP32-CAM using the Arduino IDE and FTDI board. Let's see if anyone else can give any other ideas.
