Flashing NodeMCU

<syntaxhighlight lang="bash">git clone https://git.48.io/esptool.git</syntaxhighlight>

  • add jumper to flash enable pins - isolated pin header with two pins GPIO0 and GND.
  • connect VCC and GND pins to 5V on USB serial converter
  • connect ESP RX/TX pins
  • try plugging in serial converter, led on the ESP should blink briefly
  • flash dev firmware (or debug firmware if needed)

<syntaxhighlight lang="bash">cd esptool ./flash_bin_dev</syntaxhighlight>

  • remove jumper
  • start terminal with 115200 baudrate

<syntaxhighlight lang="bash">miniterm.py /dev/ttyUSB0 115200</syntaxhighlight>

  • disconnect and re-connect power to ESP (preferably without disconnecting USB serial converter as you wouldn't see early boot messages)
  • NodeMCU should start
    • during first boot you should see Self adjusting flash size and Formatting filesystem messages
    • after formatting you should get NodeMCU prompt >



<syntaxhighlight lang="bash">Early boot

$ miniterm.py /dev/ttyUSB0 74880

Program

$ miniterm.py /dev/ttyUSB0 115200

sometimes

$ miniterm.py /dev/ttyUSB0 9600
