    Hi
    I am trying to set up DCC-EX & Wifi on MEGA+WiFi Board

    I am using Linux MINT 21.3 cinamon

    I am following these instructions
    https://dcc-ex.com/reference/hardware/microcontrollers/wifi-mega.html#gsc.tab=0
    ie step - Using esptool.py (Windows, Mac, Linux)

    question
    Step D 'run the flasher tool' show GUI/UI/Screen to upload binaries

    how do I 'run the flasher tool' to get GUI/Screen/UI upload tool on LINUX MINT?

    alternatively are there command line instructions for esptool.py to upload esp module x5 binaries (equivalent what shown on GUI upload tool)

    esptool.py appears to be command line tool only

    thank you
    Peter
