ESP32 Download Tool V3.9.0 - infinite reboot cycle

[DeXTeR323i]

Hi!

I have ESP32-WROVER-IE chip with 16MB flash. I am using VS Code with Platformio, and Arduino framework.
Platformio.ini:

Code: Select all

[env:esp-wrover-kit]
platform = espressif32
board = esp-wrover-kit
framework = arduino
monitor_speed = 115200
build_flags =   -DBOARD_HAS_PSRAM
                -DCORE_DEBUG_LEVEL=0
board_build.partitions = large_spiffs_16MB.csv
upload_speed = 921600

I used Download Tool V3.8.8 peviously to download the binaries, and everything worked perfectly. Now I tried to download exactly the same binaries with the new V3.9.0 Dowload Tool, it finishes seemingly okay. Then when I unplug and replug the ESP32 in goes into an infinite reboot loop. I can see it trough VS Code Serial Monitor. Reflashing it with V3.8.8 solves it, but I would like to use the newest Download Tool.

My settings:

- partitions bin from: [project]\.pio\build\esp-wrover-kit\partitions.bin

- my app is from: [project]\.pio\build\esp-wrover-kit\firmware.bin
- spiffs is from: [project]\.pio\build\esp-wrover-kit\spiffs.bin

Please help, what is wrong with this newest Download Tool?

I had the same issue last week. However, I just assumed PlatformIO had the mapping wrong and since I was in a rush I just flashed it another way. Goo to know someone else is having the same problem.

I'm facing same issue with Flash download tool V3.9.2
Esp32 platform on platformIO is V4.4.

Have you found a solution?
