Install esptool : pip install esptool
STEPS :
Linux Build Environment
NodeMCU firmware developers commit or contribute to the project on GitHub and might want to build their own full fledged build environment with the complete tool chain.
Run the following command for a new checkout from scratch. This will fetch the nodemcu repo, checkout the dev-esp32 branch and finally pull all submodules:
git clone --branch dev-esp32 --recurse-submodules https://github.com/nodemcu/nodemcu-firmware.git nodemcu-firmware-esp32-dir-name
The make command initiates the build process, which will start with the configuration menu to set the build options.
Important
GNU make version 4.0 or higher is required for a successful build. Versions 3.8.2 and below will produce an incomplete firmware image.
Updating your clone from upstream needs an additional command to update the submodules as well:
git pull origin dev-esp32 git submodule init #only if repo was cloned w/o submodules init git submodule update --recursive
** "make" will flash the ESP32 Device after build, So you can confirm the serial port on menuconfig (make menuconfig)
Attached MakeBoot.txt Log file for reference
Using your favorite editor (Sublime Text 3 with Vim key bindings thankyouverymuch), open ../nodemcu-firmware/app/include/user_modules.h
$ make
or $ make flash
Where is Firmware after make :
********* Flash after Build on Lnux
esptool.py --chip esp32 --port /dev/ttyUSB0 --baud 115200 --before default_reset --after hard_reset write_flash -z --flash_mode dio --flash_freq 40m --flash_size detect
0x1000 nodemcu-firmware-esp32/build/bootloader/bootloader.bin
0x10000 nodemcu-firmware-esp32-2/build/NodeMCU.bin
0x8000 nodemcu-firmware-esp32-2/build/partitions_singleapp.bin
********* Flash by Windows esptools.py
SET /P _inputname= COM CODE :
echo .
esptool.py --port "%_inputname%" write_flash 0x1000 bootloader.bin 0x10000 NodeMCU.bin 0x8000 partitions_singleapp.bin
****************************************************************************************************************************************
Easy steps on Linux:
Config Default :
Fedora Image on VirtualBox on Windows 10
installed git, apt-get and pip ready
mkdir LinuxBuild
cd linuxBuild
$ git clone --branch dev-esp32 --recurse-submodules https://github.com/nodemcu/nodemcu-firmware.git nodemcu-firmware-esp32-dir-name
cd nodemcu-firmware-esp32-dir-name
make
When Go into menuconfig (Menu), Just Select Exit and let it go !
** When some package missing, then install and make again **
sudo yum install ncurses-devel ncurses
sudo yum install flex
sudo yum install bison
sudo yum install gperf
python -m pip install --user -r nodemcu-firmware-esp32-dir-name/sdk/esp32-esp-idf/requirements.txt
0x1000 nodemcu-firmware-esp32-dir-name/build/bootloader/bootloader.bin
0x10000 nodemcu-firmware-esp32-dir-name/build/NodeMCU.bin
0x8000 nodemcu-firmware-esp32-dir-name/build/partitions_singleapp.bin
Flash by esptool.py or Config by "make menuconfig" flash after make
Install Python new Version after that "$ pip install esptool"
e.g. esptool.py --port "%_inputname%" write_flash 0x1000 %_foldername%\bootloader.bin 0x10000 %_foldername%\NodeMCU.bin 0x8000 %_foldername%\partitions_singleapp.bin
e.g. esptool.py
--port COM3 write_flash
0x1000 nodemcu-firmware-esp32-dir-name\bootloader\bootloader.bin
0x10000 nodemcu-firmware-esp32-dir-name\NodeMCU.bin
0x8000 nodemcu-firmware-esp32-dir-name\partitions_singleapp.bin
