Building from source But no esptool Programmer #208

dogrocker · 2015-05-08T20:48:37Z

I had build Arduino from source

$ git clone https://github.com/esp8266/Arduino.git
$ cd Arduino/build
$ ant dist

OSX

but when I try to upload sketch it no have esptool in Tools > Programmer
I choose Tools > Board to generic esp8266 module

So I try to add programmers.txt to

esptool.name=esptool
esptool.communication=serial
esptool.protocol=esp
esptool.program.protocol=esp
esptool.program.tool=esptool
esptool.program.extra_params=

I also trying to change platform.txt

tools.esptool.cmd=esptool
tools.esptool.cmd.windows=esptool.exe
tools.esptool.path={runtime.ide.path}/hardware/tools/esp8266

tools.esptool.upload.protocol=esp
tools.esptool.upload.params.verbose=-vv
tools.esptool.upload.params.quiet=
tools.esptool.upload.pattern="{path}/{cmd}" {upload.verbose} -cd {upload.resetmethod} -cb {upload.speed} -cp "{serial.port}" -ca 0x00000 -cf "{build.path}/{build.project_name}_00000.bin" -ca 0x10000 -cf "{build.path}/{build.project_name}_10000.bin"

to

tools.esptool.cmd=esptool.py
tools.esptool.cmd.windows=esptool.exe
tools.esptool.path=/usr/local/bin/

tools.esptool.program.params.verbose=-vv
tools.esptool.program.params.quiet=
tools.esptool.program.pattern="{path}{cmd}" {program.verbose} -b {upload.speed} -p {serial.port} write_flash 0x00000 "{build.path}/{build.project_name}_00000.bin" 0x40000 "{build.path}/{build.project_name}_40000.bin"

but it not usefull I also can't upload the sketch

error message

Choosing esptool in Programmer is not needed anymore, see 1d6a742.

dogrocker · 2015-05-09T01:40:58Z

@marvinroger Thanks, But what should I select in Tools > Programmer ?
I try to upload by select NodeMCU (ESP8266 ESP-12 Module)
but got an error like this

OK I think now I solve this error by using esptool.py

I had change platform.txt from

tools.esptool.cmd=esptool
tools.esptool.cmd.windows=esptool.exe
tools.esptool.path={runtime.ide.path}/hardware/tools/esp8266

tools.esptool.upload.protocol=esp
tools.esptool.upload.params.verbose=-vv
tools.esptool.upload.params.quiet=
tools.esptool.upload.pattern="{path}/{cmd}" {upload.verbose} -cd {upload.resetmethod} -cb {upload.speed} -cp "{serial.port}" -ca 0x00000 -cf "{build.path}/{build.project_name}_00000.bin" -ca 0x10000 -cf "{build.path}/{build.project_name}_10000.bin"

to

tools.esptool.cmd=esptool.py
tools.esptool.cmd.windows=esptool.exe
tools.esptool.path=/usr/local/bin/

tools.esptool.upload.protocol=esp
tools.esptool.upload.params.verbose=-vv
tools.esptool.upload.params.quiet=
tools.esptool.upload.pattern="{path}/{cmd}" -b {upload.speed} -p "{serial.port}" write_flash 0x00000  "{build.path}/{build.project_name}_00000.bin" 0x10000 "{build.path}/{build.project_name}_10000.bin"

but in the lasted Arduino_IDE is use 0x40000 but now in compile version it use 0x10000 I don't know why I can't use 0x40000

because 01000h User application, slot 1
41000h User application, slot 2 right ?

Esptool can now work with CH340 usb-ttl chips found in NodeMCU board. You can get it with the latest board manager package.

Thanks, @igrr

Hi, now that there is no esptool , which programmer do you select ?

Thanks
Acestu

col000r · 2015-11-03T13:44:35Z

Same problem. What do I select as a programmer now? Arduino as ISP?

marvinroger · 2015-11-03T13:46:03Z

It does not matter, it won't be the selected one that will be used anyway.
