How to flash D1 mini (AZ-Delivery esp8266mod12-f) with Flipper Zero ESP Flasher? #32

Context

Since CH340 drivers for the ESP8266 D1 mini drivers for Mac are not compatible with MacOS Sonoma I was looking for alternatives to flash my ESP and found out about ESP flasher.

The problem

I can't figure it out from the README of ESP flasher. They are all very concerned about flashing marauder on the wifi boards, but not flashing other binaries like WLED.

Essentially, I need to know:

  1. which GPIO Pins I need to connect (Flipper to D1 mini)
  2. How to set the D1 mini into DFU mode: I can't find anything on this. It has one button instead of the usual 2.
  3. How to flash the ESP8266 firmware: meaning apart from the firmware itself, what files do I need to select in the ESP flasher app and where to get them

I saw that there are files for the ESP32 marauder in this repo thats linked from the ESP flasher repo and I suspect you want me to use the rightmost columns files as the header says something about D1 mini: 0x1000, 0x8000, 0xE000 and the WLED firmware instead of the marauder firmware.

I downloaded these files and they all say something about marauder. I don't understand enough here to know if I can use these to flash my WLED firmware as well.

Even if I wanted to try this, I still don't know what pins I need to connect to my D1 mini.

Please advise.

I will not create a separate branch, I will ask here.ESP Flasher seems to support switching tsp32 to firmware mode without pressing buttons. If so, do I need to use additional GPIO pins besides RX and TX? What other exits are needed?

@Bald-79 To enter the bootloader / download mode automatically, connect EN to flipper pin 6 and GPIO0 to flipper pin 7.
