The following are daily builds of the ESP8266 firmware. This will work on
|
|
|
|
|
boards with at least 2MiB of flash. They have the latest features and bug
|
|
|
|
|
fixes, WebREPL is not automatically started, and debugging is enabled by
|
|
|
|
|
default.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
For boards with 1MiB or 512kiB of flash, two variants are provided with reduced
|
|
|
|
|
functionality. The 1MiB variant removes asyncio and FAT-filesystem support as
|
|
|
|
|
well as some modules from micropython-lib. The 512kiB variant further removes
|
|
|
|
|
all filesystem support, as well as framebuffer support, some Python language
|
|
|
|
|
features, and has less detailed error messages.

|
|
Note: v1.12-334 and newer (including v1.13) require an ESP8266 module with
|
|
|
|
|
2MiB of flash or more, and use littlefs as the filesystem by default. When
|
|
|
|
|
upgrading from older firmware please backup your files first, and either
|
|
|
|
|
erase all flash before upgrading, or after upgrading execute
|

|
|
|
`os.VfsLfs2.mkfs(bdev)`.

### OTA builds
|
|
|
|
|
Over-The-Air (OTA) builds of the ESP8266 firmware are also provided.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The first time you use this build you need to flash one of the "initial image"
|
|
|
|
|
images using esptool.py as described above. After that, you can update the
|
|
|
|
|
firmware over the air using the "OTA update" file in conjunction with the
|
|
|
|
|
ota-client script from yaota8266. The "OTA update" files are digitally signed
|
|
|
|
|
and will only work with the provided "initial image" files, and vice versa.
|
|
|
|
|
(Note: this feature is work-in-progress.)
