flash the bootloader (this is a second stage bootloader that runs after the ROM bootloader). The flashing needs to perform the following functions: Only pull the esp's RX pin low and use a pull-up for the 1's (see the Adafruit Huzzah schematics).įinally, you can add a proper level shifter. A simple nicer solution is to add a diode such that the FTDI can You need to do something about the FTDI TX -> esp RX connection. Set to 3.3v then you need to deal with the fact that the esp8266 is not 5v tolerant. In particular, during flashing the 26MhzĬlock is output on gpio0, so you definitely don't want to hard-ground that pin! Use anything fromĤ.7Kohm to 10Kohm for pull-ups, and about 1Kohm-3.3Kohm for pull-downs.Ĭonnect your FTDI's TX to the esp's RX and FTDI RX to esp's TX. Which can prevent other things from working properly. You're not likely to burn out theĬhip doing that (always possible, though), but you'll cause extra strain on the power supply, It is not recommended to hard-wire any of the gpio pins to gnd or 3.3v because this canĬause high currents if the pin is driven to a different value. Recommended on both (reset has a weak internal pull-up, which is OK if you're not connectingĪny wires to the pin, ch_en does not have any internal pull-up and you can hard-wire it toģ.3v). To issue a reset, you briefly pull either reset or ch_en (chip-enable) low. To run the flashed firware you need to pull-up gpio0 and gpio2, and pull down gpio15 (i.e. To get into flash mode you need to pull-up gpio2, and pull down gpio0 and gpio15. You need a good power supply: typically powering from a USB FTDI type adapter doesn't suffice.Ī typical symptom is that flashing works but the esp crashes as soon as you try to run it afterwards. I/O, only has 512KB flash, and the RF is 10dB worse (that's a factor of 8x!). Use esp-12 modules if at all possible, avoid esp-01 modules: the esp-12 has all the I/O pinsīrought out, has 4MBytes of flash, and has a much better RF section. You will have to use your module'sĭescription for getting it into the flash mode as some have buttons, others don't, and yet others There are many different types of esp8266 modules and daughter boards, ranging from bare esp-01 orĮsp-12 modules, to Adafruit's Huzzah or Sparkfun's Thing. "tve_master" is the name of the branch, and "8bb4202" is the SHA of the git commit used for #Flash esp8266 firmware over wifi download
The latest download for the esp8266 can be found inĮspruino_e_master_8bb4202_esp8266.tgz, where "1v84" is the base Espruino version, It is assumed that you have downloaded an Espruino for esp8266 tgz archive.
#Flash esp8266 firmware over wifi update
Update the Espruino firmware to a new version over Wifi (OTA upgrade). Save your work so Espruino runs your sketch every time it starts. Configure the wifi on the esp8266 so you can use it with the Espruino IDE over Wifi. #Flash esp8266 firmware over wifi serial
Set a band new esp8266 module up and perform the first flashing using a serial port or.
#Flash esp8266 firmware over wifi windows
Windows users: Flashing instructions using esptool seem to work. WARNING: while everything described here works, the tutorial has not been tested much. Of Espruino, please see the reference section. For reference documentation about the esp8266 port
Using it without serial wires going forward.
This tutorial provides a little intro into getting going with the ESP8266 and Espruino, and then Flashing and using the ESP8266 with Espruino
