Flashing spiffs image fails

[fschuetz]

I tried to flash my spiffs image (spiffs.bin created with platformio) to my esp32-s3. It needs to go at 0x210000. I receive the following error:

../../toolchains/esputil/esputil -fp 0x24f -p /dev/cu.usbserial-110 flash 0x210000 spiffs.bin
Using flash params 0x24f
Erasing 2097152 bytes @ 0x210000error 6: Failed to act on received message

I can flash the bootloader.bin (0x0), paritions.bin (0x8000) and firmware.bin (0x10000) without problem using esputil. I also tried with -fp 0x240. Same effect, bootloader, partition and firmware works, spiffs does not.

I can successfully upload the flash image with esptool.py without problem:

esptool.py --no-stub --chip esp32s3 --port "/dev/cu.usbserial-110" --baud 460800 --before default_reset --after hard_reset write_flash -z 0x210000 spiffs.bin

Any idea what I am doing wrong?
