Customer:

I have a problem with an ESP8266 device. I’m trying to flash WLED onto it but it’s failing, and I need to remove the old version of WLED from the ESP.

Soldered Support:

Which device are you using - Dasduino Connect or Croduino?

The issue is likely with the board definition. You need to install the correct board definition from one of these:

Je li riječ o Dasduino Connect ili Croduino uređaju? Možeš li mi poslati točan model, tako ti bolje mogu pomoći riješiti problem.

Mislim da je stvar u Board definitionu, trebaš instalirati točan board definition, i jedan je od ova dva:
