ESP8266: resetmethod is being ignored #191

Closed middelink closed 4 years ago

middelink commented 4 years ago

Looking at the code in platforms/expressif8266/builder/main.py I see the ERASECMD/UPLOADCMD always using esptool.py which has no support for either ck or wifio modes, nor does it add the reset method as a flag to the uploader.

Possible solutions I see: a) remove the documentation stating resetmethod exists and from all boards.txt. Leaving a few people like me stranded... b) switch to esptool-ck tool for these 2 modes, which would require quite a lot of refactoring in main.py c) add the resetmethods to esptoo.py and add resetmethod as a flag to upload/erase? d) switch to github.com/igrr/esptool-ck and add the resetmethod as a flag to upload/erase?

I'm unsure about c) or d) - your esptool-ck seem out of date? If we go for c) I can send you a PR implementing the other reset methods. Lemme know what you think.

c) https://github.com/espressif/esptool/pull/508

Yeah, that was me. Not much response though.

So what is the resolution here?

@middelink Now ck and 'nodemcu' reset methods are converted to proper esptool.py flags, so you can use them as before.
