Hello.
Fantastic plugin. Works well with a NodeMCU board well.
Running on linux (Ubuntu Bionic) -> esptool.py v2.6
I have made a prototype PCB using the MCP2221 USB-UART bridge IC.
It flashes fine when running the esptool command below from the terminal:
esptool.py --port /dev/ttyACM0 --baud 460800 write_flash --flash_size=detect 0 esp8266-20190529-v1.11.bin
Here is the output in terminal:

Hard resetting via RTS pin...
Using the plugin, the firmware doesn't upload or when the firmware is already loaded, files are not "formatted" and the project uploaded.
The MCP2221 does not have an RTS/DTS pin(s) like the CP2102 (found on the NodeMCU) which means manually resetting the device. Maybe this is some cause of the issue?
Is there a possibility of a plugin where the user can place the ESP8266 in to program mode and the plugin then erases the files and uploads the project without the RTS?
