Upload Problem Waveshare ESP32-S3-Touch-LCD-1.85

Development Tools IDE 2.x

Hi.

I'm not able to upload any sketch to the Waveshare ESP32-S3-Touch-LCD-1.85.

I'm always getting this message:

usage: esptool write_flash [-h] [--erase-all]
                           [--flash_freq {keep,80m,60m,48m,40m,30m,26m,24m,20m,16m,15m,12m}]

Fehlgeschlagenes Hochladen: Hochladefehler: exit status 2

The reason for that is because the file srmodels.bin is not generated by the IDE. So I've tried to choose the board 'ESP32S3 Devmodule' instead of 'Waveshare ESP32-S3-Touch-LCD-1.85' in Arduino IDE, but still facing the same error.

I'm using Arduino IDE 2.3.4 and Espressif ESP32 lib v.3.0.7

Did you follow all the steps for installation:

Have you tried changing the Partition Scheme to "16M Flash (3MB APP/9.9MB FATFS)"? (in the Arduino IDE tools menu)

That solved the issue for me (as I had the same exact error).

Thanks @rhoalt! In case anyone is encountering this "No such file or directory: '[...]/srmodels.bin'" error and is interested in understanding why it occurs and why it can be solved by following the instructions provided by @rhoalt, there is a detailed explanation here:
