I am using one of these development boards: https://www.aliexpress.com/item/10PCS-L ... 56329.html
The rgb led is always on btw. But I'm expecting the tiny LED on the esp-12e module to blink and it doesn't. It does blink rapidly while flashing though and it also flashes once every time I reset it.

So I installed the Arduino IDE, hoping that it would at least work with that. But no it doesn't. It does flash and compile. But after flashing the LED still doesn't blink.
In addition to that the rgb LED stays dark after flashing with the Arduino IDE. (Not that I care, it's just weird.)
I'm using Linux Mint.
