Hi @chegewara. Are you running this in the unmodified get-started/hello_world example? Ota commands should not work there because there is no OTA partition defined in that project.

But unfortunately, there is another issue which would you get for an OTA project. We try to fix this soon. The master branch is affected. v4.4 should work fine. I'm sorry for the inconvenience.

@dobairoland could you link or detail the issue?

[dobairoland]

It is not tracked on github. We've noticed that issuing for example idf.py erase-otadata prints only a couple of lines but nothing happens. I need to investigate more. I'll link the fix here and keep open this one until then.

The fix is in progress. It should make into v5.0. No released versions are affected. The issue is present only in the master branch.
