Thank you very much for sharing the details on how to update under macOS using esptool. This process was not scalable at none tech enthusiastic costumers. For all (new) devices running V4.4+ when they get connected via USB to a computer they emulate an USB flash drive to enable copy pasting of FIRMWARE.BIN
I finally updated my devices to the current firmware and had to make scripts for macOS due to the different executable name, usb-serial port name, UNIX style line endings, different needs for argument quoting, etc.
Guess if one changes the port name (which one has to check anyway), they would also work on Linux, BSD, etc.
I successfully tested them on a MacBook Pro with Apple Silicon here, but guess they also work on Intel. The scripts are based on the original
update*.bat
for Windows.I also added some docs at the top of the scripts.
I had some v2.x devices, first upgraded to v3.3 (not sure if necessary), then upgraded to v4.3 using these scripts and a USB-C cable.
To upgrade to v4.4, I then used the OTA web-based firmware upload method via WiFi.
