@MR-VENOM, did you tried flashing this same file with esptools.py? What address is this merged binary expected to be flashed at?

@adwait-esp Sorry for the late reply... The address to be flashed is 0x0 and the merged bin never worked for me but flashing with esptool.py with below command works fine :

python -m esptool --chip esp32s3 -b 460800 --before default_reset --after hard_reset --no-stub --port /dev/ttyACM1 write_flash --flash_mode dio --flash_size 8MB --flash_freq 80m 0x0 bootloader/bootloader.bin 0x10000 ai-module.bin 0x8000 partition_table/partition-table.bin 0x41e000 srmodels/srmodels.bin
