platform-espressif8266 VS issues

In this thread they're trying to flash 1MB firmware but the tool appears to be compiling to 4MB and refusing to flash. I think this is the issue you're having, I would suggest you update ESPHome to the latest version and try Cleaning your build files. This thread also reinforces my feeling that you didn't actually flash a 4MB firmware onto a 1MB ESP, because that's failing to happen here.

The root cause seems to be https://github.com/esphome/issues/issues/3904. How do people get the idea to publish such shit?

For the record, this is my display's YAML configuration (please, bear in mind that the rest of the IDs and components are also present. You can get a full copy of my YAML file in here):

https://github.com/esphome/issues/issues/2646 suggests that ESP-IDF changed a couple years ago, try this tweak

I have tried PlatformIO and Arduino IDE with various libraries from the bog standard ESP32 devkit to obscure packages on github: https://github.com/Murkas94/arduino-esp32-solo/tree/version_update/2_0_9 and here: https://github.com/lbernstone/arduino-esp32-solo along with something made by Tasmota. I went spelunking through various github issues and stackoverflow questions based on google searches and still can't seem to find a configuration that works.

Everything I'm reading says that if you tried to flash a 4MB image onto a 1MB ESP, that you'd receive this error. In this thread the user was encountering the error and it turned out what they thought was a 16MB ESP was actually a 4MB and it refused to flash it. So I'm questioning your claim that you successfully flashed a 4MB firmware onto a 1MB ESP.

I found this: https://github.com/esphome/issues/issues/2634

Is my mistake trying to use a docker container? There is an issue against this. https://github.com/esphome/issues/issues/3357 Which actually list some other boards that are also having the same type of issue. /u/jesserockz has https://github.com/esphome/esphome/pull/3564 . Is there a way perhaps that we could just get the board list updated https://github.com/esphome/esphome/pull/3564/commits/03f6cd54abec53e00ddc5d5a3ab42163f10be26a ?

Okay, thishelped
