t-watch-s3 - keeps rebooting with "Format SPIFFS"

[gabecarm21]

I am testing the T-Watch S3 with the example codes. When I tried to upload the factory firmware (I believe it’s the original firmware), it compiles and uploads correctly, but the watch keeps rebooting with the message "Format SPIFFS." In the serial monitor, the following error appears:

Arduino Settings

Watch screens during reboot

If I use the partition scheme: Default 4MB, as shown in the image below, I can upload some of the examples. However, if I use the 16M Flash (3MB App/9MB FATFS), which is recommended by the library, none of the codes work; the screen goes black or the watch keeps rebooting.

I'm using Arduino IDE 2.3.2, and the esp32 library is version 2.0.9

Oh! Yes, it was a mistake, thanks for reporting it

Fixed, changed the partition to FATFS to be compatible with Arduino IDE partition table settings
