Esp-WEB-Tools and SPIFFS

herve-tourrel commented 7 months ago

Good morning, I cannot flash a spiffs file containing a website with ESP-Web-Tools. The firmware part flashes correctly but not the SPIFFS file. I have to use the Arduino IDE or VSCode and PlateformIO. Here is my manifest:

{
  "name": "ESPHome",
  "builds": [
    {
      "chipFamily": "ESP32",
      "improv": false,
      "parts": [
        { "path": "bootloader.bin", "offset": 4096 },
        { "path": "partitions.bin", "offset": 32768 },
        { "path": "boot_app0.bin", "offset": 57344 },
        { "path": "firmware.bin", "offset": 65536 },
    { "path": "spiffs.bin", "offset": 2686976}
      ]
    },
    {
      "chipFamily": "ESP8266",
      "parts": [
        { "path": "esp8266.bin", "offset": 0 }
      ]
    }
  ]
}

and here is what the Arduino IDE does:

For the spiffs part :

A better approach is to flash a combined image. Just one file. Use esptool merge to combine the needed images.

Thanks for the answer, I will try to make a single file with esptool.

rainerfritz commented 6 months ago

Does your partition table also have the spiffs partition defined, corresponding to the offset?

herve-tourrel commented 6 months ago

Yes, but my problem is solved with Jason2866's method and the use of flash_download_tool_3.9.5 which allows you to create a combined image graphically.

I had the same issue with latest version (9.4.3) Also, I've seen that this version overwrites SPIFFS even if bin and addresses are smaller and don't reach SPIFFS addresses. For my application I want to flash application and keep SPIFFS with no update. Now i'm using version 3.4.2. I can write SPIFFS and application with different buttons. thanks

@gism can you show me how you did it? I have a site which I want to upload to my esp32 from my website. I'm using platform.io to build the firmware.

J'ai vu le message et je répondrai dans un ou deux jours.

I was able to do it. If anyone is interested, here is how you can do it
