I've tested this when flashing a lilygo device. Changing the parameters allowed me to use device-install shell script to interact with esptool again.

esptool.py v4.8.1
read_flash Read SPI flash content
write_flash Write a binary blob to flash

@bmidi if you install esptool v5, it will work with write-flash as well. What's the reason to use the older version? The newer version deprecates using underscores in commands.
