How to get 2/2MB Flash/SPIFFS Layout on a Wemos D1 Mini (4MB) with binary image

[pidiet]

I tried hard... no way.. can't save anything...

Used arduino, esptool and google

Version [0.7.0]

[firmware] !!! BREAKING CHANGE !!! 2 MB Flash 2 MB SPIFFS size for future proof firmware updates plase make sure you made a backup before updating to this version. You need to format SPIFFS.

Clean platformio directories and build again .it will automaticaly download git version of framework.

[rradar]

I have the same problem when flashing the binary. Is it needed to be build from ground with platformio to overcome this "issue" or is there a trick that the binary can also work?

[omersiar]

Factory reset may help i guess.

[rradar]

I did

esptool.py --port /dev/ttyUSB0 --baud 115200 erase_flash

before flashing the binary. And the result is that I can't save any settings (guess it's releated to SPIFFS)

Any other command to try?

[omersiar]

No i mean in WebUI menu there is an option for factory reset, it formats the SPIFFS, then you can use i think.

Hi, I tried everything (include factory reset), but stay in reboot loop.

@myview you need to connect rfid hardware to your esp. If you dont have any, choose wiegand on the reader type save and reboot.

[myview01]

I have RC522 connected. I get to this state after select MFRC522 with GPIO15 -> Save -> Reboot. HW - Wemos D1 mini - original (with ESPEASY works fine) If I configure only Wifi connection, I get the similar state (reset loop) without stack dump.

hi @omersiar

I did a Factory reset (from the web ui) but it didn't help with the SPIFFS :(

Here's a screenshot. I also did a erase_flash with esptool.py and reflashed the 0.7.0 binary. Stays the same.

@myview01 I think you have a complete different problem - maybe you need to open a new issue for it...

[omersiar]

@pidiet Please provide more information, are you working on Windows PC?

@rradar Did you managed to solve the issue?

I successfully downgraded to 0.6.1 (via WebUI) formatted SPIFFs (via WebUI) (3MB usable), then updated to 0.7.0 formatted SPIFFs, saved settings, works good. I couldn't reproduce this issue.

Used binaries from release page. Did not erase the flash before, nothing i done in extra. just interacted with WebUI.

Used incognito mode on my mobile browser because of browser does not cache the pages in incognito mode.

Try erase.bat here to completely erase format the flash.

https://github.com/omersiar/esp-rfid/tree/dev/bin

I am out of ideas, beside the formatting the SPIFFs.

[firmware] !!! BREAKING CHANGE !!! 2 MB Flash 2 MB SPIFFS size for future proof firmware updates plase make sure you made a backup before updating to this version.

You need to format SPIFFS.

[omersiar]

@myview01 Did you managed to solve your issue? You may need to change gain, try different Gain settings for RC522.

Hi @omersiar I also tried factory reset in esp-rfid after freshly flashing the 0.7.0 release on my wemos. But still I can't save any settings and the "FREE SPIFFS" has no color like from @pidiet

I will try downgrading now. How exactly do you format the spiffs (only?)?

Thank's for your help!

[rradar]

I downgraded (web ui) from 0.7.0 to 0.6.1 and got this dashboard:

after upgrading (web ui) to 0.7.0 again I have this one here:

[omersiar]

@rradar did it work?

[rradar]

@omersiar Yes! It's the first time the 'Free SPIFFS' is showing a green line. Before it was always grey. And now everything works like expected (I can finally save settings and active the reader -> works just out of the boy! great!)

So to sum' it up: It's necessary to flash a 0.6 release first and then upgrade via web ui to the newest 0.7 release.

[pidiet]

@omersiar

I can agree the solution from @rradar . Flashing the old release and use the web ui for upgrade works! Maybe would be good to point this out in the release section (just in case!)

Thank's a lot! I'm closing here...
