I get a similar error when using any settings and tying to flash any program on my ESP32-S3-DevKitC-1 (E2N8), no PSRAM, 8MB:

If I use PlatformIO and the same Arduino version (master branch), I have no problems. And if I revert the last commit adb88d7bed128048de783d11964a80143bdd44c0, it works in the Arduino IDE
@moreauftheobald Esptool.py v3.3 installed and using? Without you run in this issue. I never tried to do a partition scheme without the entry

Afaik it is needed.

I think to, but Huge_app partition have this partitions but dont work to...
I had to use esptool.py v4 to fix the issue with mine. Strange as it only happens with the Arduino IDE even though PlatformIO uses esptool.py v3.3, but it works.

could you just explain me how to setup ESPTOOL V4 on arduino IDE ? I've tried to do it, but did not success.
Same issue here!
Using partition layout with total of less then 4Mb works. If I use (any combination) of partitions which results in a total of > 4Mb the board keeps rebooting (SW_RESET)
Working partition layout : `
Name, Type, SubType, Offset, Size, Flags
nvs, data, nvs, 0x9000, 0x5000, otadata, data, ota, 0xe000, 0x2000, app0, app, ota_0, 0x10000, 0x300000, ffat, data, fat, 0x310000,0xF0000, #ffat, data, fat, 0x310000,0x300000, ` Changing size of ffat partition from 0xF0000 to 0x300000 causes issue
Tested on 2 different boards with 4 and 16 Mb of psram (Lily Go V7 and Lolin D32 Pro)
Thanks!
My AI Thinker ESP-S3-12K Board (8 MB Flash / 8 MB PSRAM both QIO) works fine with this boards definition and Platformio

Thank you for the detailed information Jason!
Your board definition got me on the right track.
My Lolin board has 16Mb while platformio's board definition file for this board defines a flash size of '4MB'. In the past, using Espressif V3.x, this has never been a problem, up until now (with V4.4) it seems!
After modifying the board definition, changing the flash size to 16Mb, the problem was solved. So thanks agian for pointing me in the right direction!!
@BlueAndi What should Ivan Kravets do here? The boards.json flash_size has to be align with the partition scheme. It is not possible to use with a 4MB definition a parttition scheme which has definitions >4MB. If you have such a case override the flash_size in your platformio.ini.
Since many boards are sold with the same name and different flash / PSRAM sizes and flash types it is impossible to add all this combinations in different predefined boards.json. The greatest pitfall is the flash/PSRAM type definition. If this setting is not correct the board will bootloop.
To be clear, every case of bootlooping S3 i was helping was a incorrect setup in ArduinoIDE or PlatformIO.
@Jason2866 Yes, you right. Using the overwrite mechanism can fix it.
board_upload.flash_size = "8MB"
board_upload.maximum_size = 8388608
It was more like FYI, because in older setups it was working without explicit overwrite it. A custom 8MB partition table was enough. Anyway my notification to Ivan was not accurate enough, thats true. Sry ...
Same for me. I have ESP32 wrover 16MB flash version. It works with deafult partition, but goes into infinite restart loop with large_spiffs_16MB.csv partition scheme. Addig this line into platforio.ini solved it for me too: board_upload.flash_size=16MB
Hello @moreauftheobald, Can you please help us with testing under latest version of Arduino core 2.0.5? Thanks in advance!
I'll try to test it.... i'm a kind busy, but i will try to find time to d it.
Just tryed it, il works perfectly event with custom partition scheme.
