Prebuild contains .ino.bin

[s-hemer]

Can you clarify why the preuild folder contains .ino.bin files instead of .fw files ? Just asking, I sure can build them myself but beginners may be confused.

Hi.

The prebuild folder only contains .ino.bin files since they designed for those who doesn't use on device launcher. :)

Thanks for the reply. But then the description is misleading and, from my point of view, the "complicated" step is to build the .fw file. Some parameters are really not well documented at mkfw tool.

I use a bash script to do this for me. might be of use to you

Folder Structure

On you desktop

• ESP32
  • Arduino
  • assets
  • firmware
  • raw
  • scripts
  • arduino.sh (see below)

Navigate to (in this example) and give bash file privelage

cd ESP32/scripts
chmod 777 arduino.sh
./arduino.sh

For now, I added an explanation in the README.md file, hope that improves things a bit.
