@platini76 Personally, I have no experience with the M5StickC Plus2. However, to narrow the field of investigation into what it is you're running into, it would be helpful if you could provide answers to the following questions:

1. Do I understand correctly that you are using the WebInstaller to upload the image?
2. What project/configuration are you trying to flash? I know the device you mentioned is the M5StickC Plus, but I'm not yet sure which of the projects that are available for that device.
3. Do you see any activity on the device's built-in LCD screen after the upload?

hello, I did notm find any particular project... I simply flash using web installer.. can you suggest particular project?

As far as I'm aware, you must select a project before you can try to flash. This is the relevant section on the WebInstaller page:

As you can see, you have to select a device in the first drop-down - I understand from your first message that you selected "M5StickC Plus" there, as shown in the picture. You then have to select a project in the second drop-down; if you don't the CONNECT button you have to push to start the flash doesn't even show underneath. So, my question is what project you selected there when you got stuck.

I can't really recommend a project without knowing what it is you are trying to do - i.e. what you are flashing the your M5StickC Plus2 for.

I select m5stick plus... it flashed... correctly, and when arrivate to next page... it say again ..... flash... dont recognize any flashed devices for wifi config

Can you maybe provide screen shots of what you're seeing?

[platini76]

sure!

Thank you, that's very helpful. Simply put, the last screenshot shows me that the M5StickC Plus2 isn't booting the image you flashed - or even trying to. I think this means the M5StickC Plus2 cannot be made to work using an image for a "plain" M5StickC Plus. Which means we'll have to wait for someone to add support for the Plus2 to the project.

[platini76]

thank you... hope someone will do it quickly...

@platini76 I've done some more Googling about this, and it seems that the first hurdle is adding support for the M5StickC Plus2 to PlatformIO. There is an issue on their espressif32 project repo requesting exactly that: platformio/platform-espressif32#1346.
