Hi @jack-liew, there is no such functionality at the moment, but you can try to declare your own target via an extra script. This target will trigger esptoolpy with a specific set of commands:

[env:esp32-s3-devkitc-1]
platform = espressif32
framework = arduino
board = esp32-s3-devkitc-1
extra_scripts = 
    reset_target.py

reset_target.py:

import os

Import("env")

env.Replace(
    RESETTOOL=os.path.join(
        env.PioPlatform().get_package_dir("tool-esptoolpy") or "", "esptool.py"
    ),
    RESETFLAGS=[
        "--no-stub",
        "--chip",
        env.BoardConfig().get("build.mcu", "esp32"),
        "--port",
        "$UPLOAD_PORT",
        "flash_id",
    ],
    RESETCMD='"$PYTHONEXE" "$RESETTOOL" $RESETFLAGS',
)

env.AddCustomTarget(
    name="reset_target",
    dependencies=None,
    actions=[
        env.VerboseAction(env.AutodetectUploadPort, "Looking for target port..."),
        env.VerboseAction("$RESETCMD", "Resetting target"),
    ],
    title="Reset ESP32 target",
    description="This command resets ESP32 target via esptoolpy",
)

Then you can run pio run -t reset_target

Then you can run pio run -t reset_target

It's worked, wondeful solution.

Thank U Valeros and PIO.
