Flashing via USB (Linux)

• download and unpack the latest version of esptool. Then change directory into the newly unpacked directory, using terminal commands such as:

        wget https://github.com/igrr/esptool-ck/releases/download/0.4.12/esptool-0.4.12-linux64.tar.gz
        tar xf esptool-0.4.12-linux64.tar.gz
        cd esptool-0.4.12-linux64
  

• download the latest firmware from the iSpindel Releases page e.g.

        wget https://github.com/universam1/iSpindel/releases/download/7.1.2/firmware.bin
  

• determine the iSpindel’s device path. This may be found by listing all serial USB devices before and after plugging in the iSpindel e.g. before iSpindel is plugged in:

    ls -l /dev/ttyUSB*
    ls: cannot access '/dev/ttyUSB*': No such file or directory
  

  now after iSpindel is plugged in:

    ls -l /dev/ttyUSB*
    crw-rw-rw- 1 root dialout 188, 0 Dec 11 23:20 /dev/ttyUSB0
  

  showing that the iSpindel device name is /dev/ttyUSB0

• upload the firmware by running the esptool command with the discovered iSpindel device name (/dev/ttyUSB0 in this case):

    ./esptool -vv -cd nodemcu -cb 921600 -cp /dev/ttyUSB0 -ca 0x00000 -cf ./firmware.bin
