Flowcode Support Board

Hi All,

I tried to compile and flash the ESP32 with a very simple program with a LED flashing off/on at 500mS intervals. Everything works in the simulation but when I compile to the Target Board I get the following error below. Does anyone have an idea what this could be?, I check and I have assigned the correct comport to the Target Board,

Many Thanks,

Regards,

Gavin

Error: Invalid value for '-b' / '--baud': flash is not a valid integer
Programming Failed

C:\ProgramData\MatrixTSL\FlowcodeV9\FCD\ESP\Batch\esp32_prog.bat reported error code 0x1

Hi,
There is a bug to do with the com port setting.
Take a look at this post.

Thanks,

My Comport setting in the Global Setting Under Options is empty, how do I edit it?

Regards,

Gavin

You will need to have the board plugged-in to your PC before running Flowcode.
Have you followed the step-by-step instructions found here?
The PDF file is very detailed.

I do build the project and I am able to run it in the ESP-IDF Command prompt but I can compile to target device, please see images

Regards,

Gavin

but I can compile to target device

Did you mean Can't compile to target device?
If that is the case, within the code display option on the forums ,can you post all the compiler output meaasges text please?
If different to the original

As Martin's post, this looks like a programming port issue, and as he mentioned earlier, please read and follow the post in the link below very carefully with regard to the project options screen ...

Hi Martin/Leigh,

Please see below

Try 'idf.py --help' for help.

Error: Invalid value for '-b' / '--baud': flash is not a valid integer

I have followed the post and done exactly the same but when I check in Global Setting under location the Comport Field is empty?, you can see that below, no matter how many times I select it in Project options and save and then exit, I can't seem to populate this field. I tried it on a second PC with the same result

I have bought the commerical licnece just waiting for the licence to be updated...

To me,
It looks like the same programming port issue in which myself and LeighM posted a link to.
Has everything been installed correctly so board drivers are installed correctly?
Look at the device manager with the board unplugged.
Mine looks like this: Plug the ESP32 board in and you should see an extra com port like this: Does that happen in your case?

Your licence should update when the trial runs out.
With the trial, everything is unlocked.
When someone purchases a licence there may be things not unlocked.
So Matrix wanted people who bought a licence not to miss out on the benefit of having all unlocked.
