Watchdog Timeout on SPIFFS.begin or SPIFFS.format

[SeattleStephens]

I'm using an ESP-12E NodeMCU board from amazon with the Arduino IDE. It's been working without any problems but now I'm trying to use SPIFFS to store data and I'm getting a Watchdog Timeout after 8 seconds when I call either SPIFFS.begin or SPIFFS.format.

I've run the example CheckFlashConfig sketch and it reports a size mismatch. IDE size of 4M and real size of 1M. I'm using the Adruino IDE board definition for NodeMCU 1.0 (ESP-12E Module) with a flash setting of 4M (3M SPIFFS).

Flash Chip configuration wrong!
