esptool --erase-all vs erase_flash

[uzer123]

I want to give the "simplest" command as instruction for people to flash our firmware.
I prefer this:

Code: Select all

esptool.py -p COMX --erase-all ....

But is this the exact same as the following?:

Code: Select all

esptool.py -p COMX erase_flash && esptool.py -p COMX ...

It's not completely clear to me from the documentation https://docs.espressif.com/projects/esp ... mands.html
