"system param error" on latest platformio when flashing 8266

[celsworth]

I noticed this on platformio 2.6.1 and 2.6.2 does the same thing:

platformio.ini:

[env:esp12]
platform = espressif
framework = arduino
board = esp12e
upload_speed = 230400

src/empty_sketch.cpp:

#include <ESP8266WiFi.h>

#include <WiFiClient.h>
#include <ESP8266mDNS.h>
#include <ArduinoOTA.h>

void setup()
{
    Serial.begin(115200);

    Serial.println("booting..");

    WiFi.persistent(false);
    WiFi.begin("xx", "xx");
    WiFi.mode(WIFI_STA);

    ArduinoOTA.begin();
}

unsigned long foo = 0;
void loop()
{
    ArduinoOTA.handle();

    if (millis() - foo > 10000)
    {
        Serial.println("I'm still alive :)\n");

        foo = millis();
    }
}

And I just get a reboot loop:

booting..

[snip, there is a lot more of this, let me know if it woudl be useful]

The same code works on 2.5.0 and earlier, its just an empty sketch that doesn't do much after all. Any ideas? Has the ldscript changed significantly? I can give you a compiled binary if it will help.

[ivankravets]

Did you update ldscripts? They were changed significantly. See https://github.com/platformio/platformio-pkg-ldscripts
