Have you run "idf.py build" successfully? Maybe check the logs from there first.

The documentation refers to the text flash_args files. Notice that there are no file extension used there. You are using the JSON file, so the formatting is wrong.

Please switch the documentation to the version of ESP-IDF you are using. These commands were added only recently. If you are on an older ESP-IDF then the documentation will reveal the previous way to invoke the coredump tools.

"9" is not a proper port name. Ports start with "COM" on Windows. So it should be something like COM9, but most probably COM3 or COM4. You can check this in your Device manager and see which one appears when you connect your device.

Have you seen https://github.com/espressif/idf-eclips ... hrough-usb?

The image shows the "Flash over" option.

If you prefer to use vscode then please follow the instructions on this page: https://github.com/espressif/vscode-esp-idf-extension, especially https://github.com/espressif/vscode-esp ... install.md.

I recommend to you to remove all environment variables you set manually. They will cause you trouble now or later.

It is advised to use the Windows installer (https://docs.espressif.com/projects/esp ... setup.html) which will set up your environment.

We recommend to use the Windows Tool Installer available from here: https://dl.espressif.com/dl/esp-idf/ This is the easiest and the most reliable way to install ESP-IDF on Windows. You can find a lot of tutorials and setup guides for the Vscode extentions here: https://github.com/espressif/vscode-e...

I assume this is the same report as https://github.com/espressif/esp-idf/is ... 1447719301.

We will try to backport the fix to the v4.2 and v4.3 release branches as well.
