[feature request] flashing from monitor #571

Closed JohnnyZig closed 5 months ago

JohnnyZig commented 5 months ago

Is it possible to implement flashing when we are already in monitor? That would optimize fast recompile&flash&try it cycle (without needing to leave espflash monitor). Similar like esp-idf.py monitor does with Ctrl-] Ctrl-F? I tried to implement it myself my my knowledge of Rust is not enough.

This would only be possible in cargo-espflash I believe, as espflash by itself doesn't know how to rebuild the project.

IMO this probably isn't worth the effort, at least my workflow is only two extra key presses:

  1. Ctrl+C to quit the monitor
  2. Up arrow to load the last command (cargo run blah blah)
  3. Enter to build, flash and open the monitor.

Perhaps if someone submitted a PR we might accept it, but most likely something we won't work on ourselves.

As @MabezDev suggested, we probably won't work on this in our end, so I will close this issue as not planned. That being said, feel free to send a PR with this feature.
