I'll be using Windows to flash, so I'll see whats available to flash both .bin files.

Ta.
esptool.py ... its all there in the instructions. 7 year old kids are flashing these modules :) Its really simple.

Literally

Code: Select all

pip install esptool
Thats it. Nothing else needed.

esptool.py doesn't execute in Windows,

and after installing Python for Windows, I am now receiving :

Pyserial is not installed for C:\Users\User\AppData\Local\Programs\Python\Python37\pythonw.exe. Check the README for installation instructions.
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "C:/Temp/test.py", line 38, in <module>
import serial
ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'serial'

And so the headf*ck begins... :D

I would go ahead and install a Linux box at home, but then upon install I'd probably have a missing library or dependency, and if I should go ask for help, well i'd be told to go read the docs. You know how it is. :D :lol:

Be sure to correctly set the offsets for the binaries if you use this. I dislike GUI's because they rely on users clicking things and give less repeatable results.

I think the offsets are found within the names given to the .bin files.... 0x00000.bin and 0x10000.bin

Yup but make sure you dont accidentally wipe other parts of the ESP!!!

Lads I have question about this
Is possible connect to parallel port on amiga ?
Or is only for TF330 serial port?

This solution is only ment for the TF330 SPI port.
However, it will work on other serial ports if you take correct measures. Connecting this to old school serial ports will break the ESP. So use a MAX3232 or similar to avoid this.

You might be better just buying a plipbox type solution.

Careful! The TF3xx's do not have SPI ports. Those are only on the TF5xx series.
