ESP32 filesystem selection

Hi,
I'm just starting to use some ESP32 devices and have found a couple of problems:

  • When selecting ESP32 Dev Module the vMicro options allow for the File system selection (SPIFFS/LittleFS)
    Selecting other variants doesn't give the options (I haven't checked all of them but ESP32S Dev Module and ESP32C3 Dev Module definitely don't have the options)

    • Setting the value runtime.tools.mkspiffs.path=notTheToolYoureLookingFor in board.txt works to override the SPIFFS build

    • The old problem of 'mklittlefs.exe' not being found until a code build has been performed has returned (I think it's fixed for the ESP8266?)
  • With the ESP32C3 module selected, running Publish throws a fatal error: A fatal error occurred: This chip is ESP32-C3 not ESP32. Wrong --chip argument?
    • Running the command from a command prompt and changing the --chip to --chip esp32-c3 works correctly.



Verbose log attached.

Thanks for the report and detail.

The FSUpload options will now show in the latest version of Visual Micro which can be downloaded from the top of the below board:

We will update when the next release for the --chip parameter is available to resolve this issue.
