Hi,
I cannot find option when using arduino-cli to upload bins to esp01 to choose to erase or not to erase the eeprom memory
Is it implemented ? How to do it ?
Thanks a lot
That option does not exist nor does the upload modify the EEPROM on the Arduinos that have real EEPROM on chip. Many times I will save stuff in EEPROM then load another program to display what is there.
I solved it by installing esptool which have this option, maybe it would be nice to make this option also for arduino-cli, thanks
What is the option?
I use: esptool.py erase_flash #Perform Chip Erase on SPI flash
I installed the tool by command: pip install setuptools wheel pyaes esptool
This is controlled by the "Erase Flash" custom board option.
You can learn the available custom board options using the arduino-cli board details command:

Here we can see that the ID for the "Erase Flash" option is wipe and the ID for the "All Flash Contents" setting of that option is all:
Option: Erase Flash wipe
Only Sketch ✔ wipe=none
Sketch + WiFi Settings wipe=sdk
All Flash Contents wipe=all
You can set the board option using the --board-options flag.
So if you want to erase the entire flash you would use a command like this:
arduino-cli upload --fqbn esp8266:esp8266:generic --board-options wipe=all
Great thanks, will try
just from the options it is not clear how did you find the keyword: wipe=all,
I cannot see it in the options, Is it a "secret" option ?
Also not I tried to search the forum site ans arduino-cli with keyword: erase with no luck, maybe there could be some example shown there
Sorry, just found it, it was on the right side in the textarea, not seen on the first sight
