Sketch

/* The true ESP32 chip ID is essentially its MAC address.
This sketch provides an alternate chip ID that matches 
the output of the ESP.getChipId() function on ESP8266 
(i.e. a 32-bit integer matching the last 3 bytes of 
the MAC address. This is less unique than the 
MAC address chip ID, but is helpful when you need 
an identifier that can be no more than a 32-bit integer 
(like for switch...case).

@PilnyTomas Do you have a mac to test?

[PilnyTomas]

Can you please test PR #7129

[danwahl]

Had the same issue on 3597881 (Adafruit Feather ESP32-S3 2MB PSRAM, Windows 10, Arduino 1.8.19) and #7129 seems to resolve it

[PilnyTomas]

@Prakul2006 can you please test with the PR? If it solved your issue, please close the issue.
We will close the issue as solved if there is no response in the next week.

Running under Linux and found that the m5stick-c-plus.menu.EraseFlash entries were missing from the boards.txt file

Added them and can now program my M5StickC-plus
Thanks

I had the identical error argument <address> <filename>: Address "{upload.erase_cmd}" must be a number
I updated the boards file adding the bold text below.
"\Arduino\hardware\espressif\esp32\boards.txt"
With these settings, successful upload of blink sketch

the boards file needs to be corrected

My environment:
IDE Host: Jetson Nano w/ Ubuntu 18.04.6 LTS (GNU/Linux 4.9.253-tegra aarch64)
