Compiled binary for instant flashing #62

Closed nixmeer closed 4 years ago

nixmeer commented 4 years ago

Hello :) is it possible to add a working binary to this repo that everyone can upload to the esp32 using the esptool.py?

is it possible at all to upload a esp idf binary using the esptool.py?
are all parameters configurable after flashing? Or do I have to add things like ssid and the WiFi password before compiling?

Best :) Jan

The wifi config is set during make menuconfig so i don't think a pre-made binary is an option unless you were to move from a static wifi setup to something like wifi_config. Are you having trouble building a binary on your own? What errors are you seeing?

Well, I don't have the tool chain and idf installed yet and I try not do so. What other options are set there? Is it just wifi config to other settings as well?

pocketscience commented 4 years ago

There's a few other settings required such as camera module type, partition table etc. You really need to install the tools to use it...

A college of mine uses it at work, so we might do it there. But maybe a server, a little GUI and the thing opening up a wifi hotspot if it can't connect to a wifi network would be great. If corona stays around long enough, I might take a look at it

Sounds like a great project! Go for it!
