CircuitPython ROM loader for ESP chips, works with ESP8266 or ESP32.

Project description

Introduction

Documentation Status Discord Build Status

ROM loader for ESP chips, works with ESP8266 or ESP32. This is a ‘no-stub’ loader, so you can’t read MD5 or firmware back on ESP8266.

See this document for protocol we’re implementing: https://github.com/espressif/esptool/wiki/Serial-Protocol

See this for the ‘original’ code we’re miniaturizing: https://github.com/espressif/esptool/blob/master/esptool.py

There’s a very basic Arduino ROM loader here for ESP32: https://github.com/arduino-libraries/WiFiNINA/tree/master/examples/Tools/FirmwareUpdater

Dependencies

This driver depends on:

Please ensure all dependencies are available on the CircuitPython filesystem. This is easily achieved by downloading the Adafruit library and driver bundle.

Installing from PyPI

On supported GNU/Linux systems like the Raspberry Pi, you can install the driver locally from PyPI. To install for current user:

pip3 install adafruit-circuitpython-miniesptool

To install system-wide (this may be required in some cases):

sudo pip3 install adafruit-circuitpython-miniesptool

To install in a virtual environment in your current project:

mkdir project-name && cd project-name
python3 -m venv .env
source .env/bin/activate
pip3 install adafruit-circuitpython-miniesptool

Usage Example

Check the examples folder for demo sketches to upload firmware to ESP8266 and ESP32

Building locally

Zip release files

To build this library locally you’ll need to install the circuitpython-build-tools package.

python3 -m venv .env
source .env/bin/activate
pip install circuitpython-build-tools

Once installed, make sure you are in the virtual environment:

source .env/bin/activate

Then run the build:

circuitpython-build-bundles --filename_prefix adafruit-circuitpython-miniesptool --library_location .

Sphinx documentation

Sphinx is used to build the documentation based on rST files and comments in the code. First, install dependencies (feel free to reuse the virtual environment from above):

python3 -m venv .env
source .env/bin/activate
pip install Sphinx sphinx-rtd-theme

Now, once you have the virtual environment activated:

cd docs
sphinx-build -E -W -b html . _build/html

This will output the documentation to docs/_build/html. Open the index.html in your browser to view them. It will also (due to -W) error out on any warning like Travis will. This is a good way to locally verify it will pass.
