ESP-Flasher for EMS-ESP

Forked from https://github.com/Jason2866/ESP_Flasher/

ESP-Flasher is a utility app for ESP8266 / ESP32 and is designed to make flashing EMS-ESP as simple as possible by:

• Having pre-built binaries.
• Hiding all non-essential options for flashing. All necessary options for flashing (bootloader, flash mode, partition) are automatically loaded from local directory.
• selects partition scheme depending on cpu and flash: "partitions...bin"

The flashing process is done using the esptool library by espressif.

Installation

• Check the releases section for downloads.

• If you have Python installed you can install from PyPI: pip install esp-flasher. Start the GUI by esp_flasher. Alternatively, you can use the command line interface ( type esp_flasher -h for info)

Linux Notes

Installing wxpython for linux can be a bit challenging (especially when you don't want to install from source). You can use the following command to install a wxpython suitable with your OS and Python version:

# Go to https://extras.wxpython.org/wxPython4/extras/linux/gtk3/ and select the correct OS type
# here, we assume ubuntu 20.04
         sudo apt-get update
         sudo apt install libgtk-3-dev libnotify-dev libsdl2-dev
         pip3 install -U \
          -f https://extras.wxpython.org/wxPython4/extras/linux/gtk3/ubuntu-20.04 \
          wxPython
