I can’n use the S2 version with PlatformIO.

If I try : “board = esp32thing\_plus”

I obtain during build : A fatal error occurred: This chip is ESP32-S2 not ESP32. Wrong --chip argument?

I tried to add “board\_build.mcu = esp32s2” but it is worse.

Have you a working configuration file ?

It looks like that error happens when esptool.py passes esp32 instead of esp32-s2 [https://www.esp32.com/viewtopic.php?t=18492](https://www.esp32.com/viewtopic.php?t=18492)

According to later posts updating to this [https://github.com/lorol/arduino-esp32fs-plugin](https://github.com/lorol/arduino-esp32fs-plugin) will correct the issue

Hope this helps!

**With Arduino IDE :**

I install in the Preferences

[https://raw.githubusercontent.com/espre … index.json](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/espressif/arduino-esp32/gh-pages/package_esp32_dev_index.json)

I can find your S2 board already defined

it works !

**With PlatformIO :**

I tried to build a configuration file but without success.

_I need some help if somebody found a solution !_
