Install ESPEasy with a Mac, esptool.py

[cobrp]

I'am trying to install ESPEasy on a ESP8266-01, it's black. I want to use ESPEasy with Domoticz.
Flashing a nodeMCU with esptool.py works well.

I did try to flash the 1024 k and 512 k binary images both from R78.
Both images flash well with or without the parameter set: -fs 32m -fm dio -ff 40m at the end of the command line.

But when I open a terminal after a reset, I get:

Code: Select all

Fatal exception (0): 
epc1=0x400ef278, epc2=0x00000000, epc3=0x00000000, excvaddr=0x00000000, depc=0x00000000

about once a second.

Anybody an idea?

?

Fatal exception (0) >> illegalInstructionCause
epc1=0x400ef278 >> Exception program counter.
this points to an address above 1MB, looks like you are trying to write/read from an adress that is not there.

Maybe you set wrong parameter ?
Look into the documentation for esptool, maybe you can find the right parameter there.

-fs 32m means that you try to write to a 4 MB (32 Mbit) flash. You should either use -fs 8m and the 1MB file, or no -fs option (default is 512k flash) and the 512k image. Since you probably want to do OTA upgrades in the future, I suggest you use the 1M option

-fs 32m only applies to modules with 4 MB flash (ESP-12)
You can write a smaller image to a 4 MB flash, but you need to set -fs accordingly

Make sure your version of esptool supports the -fs option - it was not present in older versions
