ESPixelStick Flash Tool on Mac #654

Closed cybercop23 closed 9 months ago

cybercop23 commented 10 months ago

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe. Currently the Flash Tool doesn't work on the M1/M2 Macs because the librxtxSerial.jnilib is not supported being older version.

Describe the solution you'd like Possibly include the updated lib in the Jar file or better yet use the wled web install process to flash the devices.

Additional context For reference: https://install.wled.me/

Thank you @forkineye for this fix. Maybe I'm doing something wrong, which is always possible, but AFAIK on the M1/2 you can't install python v2. I created an alias and I can run it from the terminal with:

python bin/upload.py --chip esp32 --baud 460800 --port /dev/cu.usbserial-110 --before default_reset --after hard_reset write_flash -z 0x1000 firmware/esp32/esp32_quinled_uno_ae_plus-bootloader.bin 0x8000 firmware/esp32/esp32_quinled_uno_ae_plus-partitions.bin 0xe000 firmware/esp32/boot_app0.bin 0x10000 firmware/esp32/esp32_quinled_uno_ae_plus-app.bin 0x3B0000 firmware/filesystem.bin

However the Flashing tool, still tries to use python and doesn't have access to the .profile to use the alias.. so it fails... -= Erasing ESP Flash =- Command: python bin/upload.py --chip esp32 --baud 460800 --port /dev/cu.usbserial-110 erase_flash exec - Start java.io.IOException: Cannot run program "python": error=2, No such file or directory

Anyway to detect if a Mac M1/M2 and issue python3 or maybe have a button (default) to python and have the option to choose python3?

This is related to https://github.com/forkineye/ESPixelStick/issues/562. I need to add some logic to detect supported python binaries as java doesn't access the alias as you've noticed. Can you use a symlink for now?
