How do I upload a vlw file to an ESP32?

[bh3dkn]

I've tried entering the command "Upload" in the menu that appears when I press CTRL+SHIFT+P, but I don't see the option "Upload LittleFS to Pico/ESP8266/ESP32." How can I resolve this issue?

Double check that you have copied the single .VSIX file to the right directory for your OS. It's not in the same place as the 1.x IDE. See the README section.

The VSIX file has been placed in the "arduinoIDE\plugins" directory as required. The Arduino version is 2.3.2, and the VSIX file is version 1.5.4. However, the "Upload LittleFS to Pico/ESP8266/ESP32" option is not visible in the command box.

It's supposed to be in a hidden "." directory, so the name should be ".arduino...", not "arduino...". See https://randomnerdtutorials.com/arduino-ide-2-install-esp32-littlefs/ for a good intro with pictures.

It's done, thank you.

Could you please provide an example of reading the TFT_eSPI display from the vlw library in littlefs and customizing the text that appears on it?

That's an Arduino library and not something I've ever seen. I suggest opening something on their repo or the Arduino forums.

Thank you, Master, for sharing the tutorial. I was able to successfully read the firmware using littlefs, and I am very satisfied with the outcome. Thank you.
