3 months ago Hello @marclefevre, this seems like a platformio issue. It runs esptool.py under the hood, but it fails to configure the command properly.
The output you see is what you get when you run esptool.py (without any commands). Platformio should construct a command like esptool.py write_flash 0x8000 .pio\build\esp32dev\firmware.bin, but for some reason it is not doing that.
Please try to reinstall your platformio environment.
In the end, this is not an esptool issue - I believe you should open this issue in https://github.com/platformio/platform-espressif32.
Operating System
Windows 11
Esptool Version

Chip Description
ESP32
Device Description
ESP32 WROOM-32
Hardware Configuration
I'm using an FTDI programmer with the NodeMcu reset circuit that manipulates GPIO0 and Reset(EN)
How is Esptool Run
From a Platformio upload operation
