Question

Hi, can anyone please help with my uploading problem?
I have used M5Core2 successfully and now have M5Tough.
I have loaded the M5Tough library and
selected the correct board, M5Stack-Tough.
I have selected the correct port when the M5Stack-Tough is plugged in.
When I compile and upload any examples for M5Tough I get the following error message after a successful compile:

Sketch uses 835953 bytes (63%) of program storage space. Maximum is 1310720 bytes.
Global variables use 40444 bytes (12%) of dynamic memory, leaving 287236 bytes for local variables. Maximum is 327680 bytes.

Any help to identify what is causing this error would be welcome.
Thanks.

Have a look here: esptool write_flash: error: argument : Address "{upload.erase_cmd}" must be a number

Thank you.
I hope M5 or espressif can fix this bug soon.
