fragolinux commented 6 years ago

i'm using a nodemcu (https://www.sigmdel.ca/michel/ha/esp8266/doit_nodemcu_v3_en.html) and trying to flash it, without luck... i used this board previously, so i first ran this, to clear the spiffs and the memorized credentials:

esptool.py.exe --port COM4 erase_flash

esptool.py v2.3.1

then i used your command (changed the 4m to 4MB, newer esptool deprecated your version):

esptool.py -p COM4 -b 230400 write_flash -ff 40m -fm qio -fs
 4MB 0x00000 0x00000.bin 0xa000  0xa000.bin 0x52000  spiff_rom.bin
