Issue or Suggestion Description

I have an ESP32 Box 3. I tried a different firmware and it partially worked. I downloaded the latest Espressif firmware from https://github.com/espressif/esp-box/releases/download/v0.5.0/ESP-BOX_Demo_EN_V0.5.0.bin and flashed it, from my Mac, with the command line python3 -m esptool --port /dev/cu.usbmodem234401 --chip esp32s3 write_flash 0x0 firmware/ESP-BOX_Demo_EN_V0.5.0.bin. It keeps rebooting.

Here's the log:

Sorry, I think this firmware doesn't support esp-box-3
You can choose a firmware ending with -3

[TangoOversway]

Yes, that worked! Where can I download the binary files listed on that page? Thank you! Hal

You can first download launchpad.toml first, and then download according to the firmware name, for example https://espressif.github.io/esp-box/chatgpt_demo-ESP-BOX-1_0_0.bin

[TangoOversway]

Just what is launchpad.toml supposed to do? When I click on it, it just opens in my text editor. (I’m on a Mac, in case that makes a difference.) Thank you. Hal
