Hi looking for some help please>.

I get this error in Terminal

-bash: esptool.py: command not found Don't really know what I'm doing and looking for some help please?

Thanks

Hi, esptool.py is not a native OS X command. You must install esptool... In Terminal you type: pip install esptool

More news about esptool.py, here : https://github.com/espressif/esptool

Hi thanks for your reply, I have already installed esp using that command

[RavenSystem]

-bash: esptool.py: command not found

@Crox77 You system is telling you that you have not installed esptool.py

[Crox77]

Thanks for your reply, I have ran the pip install esptool and it says installed however I still get this error message

[RavenSystem]

Exec: find /usr/ -name esptool.py

This command will search esptool.py in you /usr/ directory

[Crox77]

comes back with this find: /usr//sbin/authserver: Permission denied

[RavenSystem]

Exec: find / -name esptool.py

This command will search esptool.py in your / directory

[Crox77]

sorry to be a pain but tried that, and come back with the permission denied again.

Crox-iMac:~ Crox-iMac$ find / -name esptool.py find: /usr/sbin/authserver: Permission denied

[RavenSystem]

@Crox77 If after exec find / -name esptool.pyand search in your entire disk, it does not show esptool.py path, for sure it is not installed in your system.

ive ran the install command pip install esptool again: Crox-iMac:~ Crox-iMac$ pip install esptool DEPRECATION: Python 2.7 will reach the end of its life on January 1st, 2020. Please upgrade your Python as Python 2.7 won't be maintained after that date. A future version of pip will drop support for Python 2.7. Requirement already satisfied: esptool in ./Library/Python/2.7/lib/python/site-packages (2.6) Requirement already satisfied: pyaes in ./Library/Python/2.7/lib/python/site-packages (from esptool) (1.6.1) Requirement already satisfied: pyserial>=3.0 in ./Library/Python/2.7/lib/python/site-packages (from esptool) (3.4) Requirement already satisfied: ecdsa in ./Library/Python/2.7/lib/python/site-packages (from esptool) (0.13)

this is what it comes back with but still get the command error.

what else can I try? Thanks

[Crox77]

Search has found it on my system:

ind: /Users/Crox-iMac/Library/HomeKit: Operation not permitted /Users/Crox-iMac/Library/Python/2.7/bin/esptool.py /Users/Crox-iMac/Library/Python/2.7/lib/python/site-packages/esptool.py

Not sure what to do next

[RavenSystem]

export PATH=$PATH:/Users/Crox-iMac/Library/Python/2.7/bin

[Crox77]

Crox-iMac:~ Crox-iMac$ export PATH=$PATH:/Users/Crox-iMac/Library/Python/2.7/bin Crox-iMac:~ Crox-iMac$

[Crox77]

ok so now im getting this instance.open() File "/Users/Crox-iMac/Library/Python/2.7/lib/python/site-packages/serial/serialposix.py", line 268, in open raise SerialException(msg.errno, "could not open port {}: {}".format(self._port, msg)) serial.serialutil.SerialException: [Errno 2] could not open port /dev/usbserial-A9RK0041: [Errno 2] No such file or directory: '/dev/usbserial-A9RK0041' Crox-iMac:~ Crox-iMac$

not sure I have the USB port number correct, I have installed the fdti drivers though

[Crox77]

I think that is my FDTI Serial number not the port number, how do I find the USB port number?

[St0nehead]

Type in your Terminal ls /dev Then paste result here

[Crox77]

Don't know what's going on now, my FTDI is no longer showing on my Mac, that's what the above message is, was all ok until I did the first erase flash

[St0nehead]

First, cd to directory where saved your otaboot.bin/blank_config.bin/rboot.bin For example: cd /Users/Crox-iMac/Downloads/RavenCore

Then, try to run command with ’sudo’

sudo esptool.py -p /dev/tty.usbserial-A9RK004l —baud 115200 write_flash -fs 1MB -fm dout -ff 40m 0x0 rboot.bin 0x1000 blank_config.bin 0x2000 otaboot.bin
