SPIFFS Upload failed!

[roncoa]

After updating the core of esp8266 2.6.1 the tool does not work anymore.
Are there any suggestions?
Thanks

Same issue for me... Reverted to ESP8266 Community version 2.6.0 (from 2.6.1) and the SPIFFS upload worked fine.

I found it out how to upload files by using command line.
(Don't forget to close Serial Monitor window when uploading.
And my laptop is a macbook. You could find a clue from my solution if you use windows OS.)

1. Pack the folder data that files is located in to upload.
   > ./mkspiffs -c /Users//Documents/Arduino/Test_SPIFFS/data -b 4096 -p 256 spiffs.bin

   • Refer to: https://docs.espressif.com/projects/esp-idf/en/latest/api-reference/storage/spiffs.html
   • Path of mkspiffs: /Users//Library/Arduino15/packages/esp8266/tools/mkspiffs/2.5.0-4-b40a506

2. Upload the image file packed.
   > esptool.py --chip esp8266 --port /dev/cu.SLAB_USBtoUART --baud 115200 write_flash 0xEB000 spiffs.bin

   • You might get the error 'A fatal error occurred: Timed out waiting for packet header' after uploading. However, just ignore it if the console says 'Wrote ... ' before the error line, and then check if the file is uploaded by following the next step.
   • 0xEB000 is the start address of SPIFFS. You can find it when you try to upload files by clicking on menu button 'Tools > ESP8266 Sketch Data Upload', and then check '[SPIFFS] address: 0xEB000' on the console like the following captured image.

3. Check if the file uploaded successfully.
   > esptool.py --chip esp8266 --port /dev/cu.SLAB_USBtoUART --baud 115200 read_flash 0xEB000 0x1000 backout.txt
   • 0x1000 is the size of memory to read.

I hope that it is helpful for you.

This is probably related to esp8266/Arduino#6765 which was introduced in 2.6.1
