Mongoose OS - an IoT Firmware Development Framework. Supported microcontrollers: ESP32, ESP8266, CC3220, CC3200, STM32F4, STM32L4, STM32F7. Amazon AWS IoT, Microsoft Azure, Google IoT Core integrated. Code in C or JavaScript.
The problem is that it says:
"(...) Build the Firmware (...) This will produce three binary images under the firmware/ subdirectory."
Then, below it says that the command to use for the esptool is:
"esptool --baud 115200 --port /dev/YOUR_ESP_SERIAL_DEVICE write_flash 0x00000 firmware/0x00000.bin 0x20000 firmware/0x20000.bin 0x30000 firmware/0x30000.bin"
So i assume that the built filenames should be: 0x00000.bin, 0x20000.bin and 0x30000.bin.
The issue here is that if you do the build step correctly, it would appear 4 files instead of 3, and with
another names:
fs.bin, init_data_default_v08.bin, mongoose-os.bin and rboot.bin.
Also, there will be another file named manifiest.json
So my questions are:
1) Is the documentation outdated or am i doing something wrong? Why it says that there
should be 3 binaries, but there appears to be 4?
2) How can i flash the mongoose-os in my esp8266 with esptool? In what memory locations i
have to put each of those 4 files? In what order?
For example: 0xdirection fs.bin -> What should "direction" be?
3) Can someone list the correct and updated steps to make and upload the mongoose-os on
the esp8266 vía Esptool?
Thank you very much in advance,
I'll wait for your answers!

Santiago

Hi!
I need to build the Mongoose-Os firmware to upload it using esptool. That is documented in the following link: https://github.com/cesanta/mongoose-os/tree/master/fw/platforms/esp8266
The problem is that it says: "(...) Build the Firmware (...) This will produce three binary images under the firmware/ subdirectory."
Then, below it says that the command to use for the esptool is: "esptool --baud 115200 --port /dev/YOUR_ESP_SERIAL_DEVICE write_flash 0x00000 firmware/0x00000.bin 0x20000 firmware/0x20000.bin 0x30000 firmware/0x30000.bin"
So i assume that the built filenames should be: 0x00000.bin, 0x20000.bin and 0x30000.bin.
