Yes, but I ask about Device item in Thonny IDE, where Install and Erase choices always set Off

Not sure I understand the problem. If the ESP is properly flashed, connected and reconized by Thonny, then Upload/Show opcions should be enabled. In my version I don't have an "Erase" option. To do that, I use the shell by:

import os (or uos)

os.listdir() (or listdir('folder')

os.rename('myfile') (or remove('myfie')

Yes, this items work fine, but on Thonny IDE for Mac OS there is two more items
- Install MicroPython to ESP8266/ESP32
- Erase ESP8266/ESP32
Which shown, but not higlited and could de used.
Usually I use for this esptool 2.6 or uPyCraft 1.0 but viewing this possibility in Thonny IDE I'll be glad to use it not to jump between software

Hi!

You need to select the device in Tools => Options => Interpreter first.

best regards,
