Latest Espruino build for Esp8266

If I want to use graphics, then I would need to stay with an older build?

More people may use graphics than crypto? Maybe we need a vote :)

Of course I think you could use @JumJum's firmare builder?

Perhaps the bigger question is how many are using 512k roms vs 4mb.

The restriction applies to 512k, and as this is the lowest common denominator and there is a common build, it applies to all esp8266

The layout difference between 512KB and greater flash chips is only one 4KB sector, so just ditching 512KB support doesn't instantaneously fix the issue. Someone still has to go through and work out an alternate flash layout and then make all the code and documentation changes. I still see new folks start with esp-01 modules, FWIW.

I still see new folks start with esp-01 modules, FWIW.

Yeah, I'd say that with Telnet support the ESP01 modules are still pretty relevant.

There must still be some easyish ways to get the code size down? There are ifdefs in the Math lib for cutting down on code size (with small but slow implementations of trig functions). And has anyone run find_big_rom.sh in the .lst file? That's my first stop on ARM.

I thought the espruino math libs were no longer used and these were now linked to standard libs? I do recall when this happened there was a lot of space freed up in the total firmware sizes.

It went through 2 phases:

• Switching from the included maths libraries to GCC's libs
  
• Finding out GCC's libs were HUGE and adding my own (small) implementations of the biggest ones if SAVE_ON_FLASH is defined
  
  

So I think ESP8266 is currently using GCC's libs, but hasn't replaced the big ones with small ones.

See line 883ff in makefile, ESP8266 does not use GCC's lib
Some time ago we found out, lmirom from RTOS-librarys works with SDK1.4 and saves some memory.
On a long term this is a hack, may be SDK2.0 now has its own lmirom ?
@tve, is there a place to get SDK2.0, same way I got SDK1.4 from your server ?

@JumJum
If you look at the Travis.yml file you will get the link to @tve 's tvx file that has the 2.0 sdk.

Or - download it from the source

https://espressif.com/en/support/download/sdks-demos

and choose "ESP8266 NONOS SDK V2.0.0 patch 20160809" and "ESP8266 NONOS SDK V2.0.0 20160810"

Thanks for hints,
downloaded sdk 2.0 as shown in travis.yml
After compiling there are some warnings like this one:

libs/network/esp8266/ota.c:93:3: warning: format '%lX' expects argument of type 'long unsigned int', but argument 3 has type 'uint32_t' [-Wformat=]

Is there anything, I can get rid of those ?

Hi there
sorry for the delay ( work :/ .. )

answer from Greg Wang - Espressif Systems Customers service

Hi,
Yes, you can use flash more than 32Mbit. But the firmware is up to 32Mbit, no more. You can read and write the rest area as norma data storage.
Currently we can support to 128Mbit max this way.

( confirmation of / additional info on answer by Pete Scargill - as @user67316 - who were kind enough to share it on page 6 of this topic )

But only 1 meg for programs and possibly another meg for the OTA copy - the rest of the space could only be used for data - using for example the file system in the Arduino environment...

During my latest tests, I had troubles flashing a NodeMCU ( ESP-12 ) board with the "latest" releases of both esptool.py & Espruino, even using dio & slower bauds didn't seems to do the trick :|
-> I'll check again using the latest build provided here & post the results ( for: ESP-01, ESP-01 32M ( flash upgr. ), ESP-01 128M ( flash upgr. ), ESP-12 ( NodeMCU ) )

On the crypto vs graphics topic, I'd say both are relevant ( though I'd 1st have fun with graphics than the other .. even after watching some Bruce Schneier talk ;p ) - so, additional param when building ?

@JumJum actually don't know if this 'd help, but try using '%zu' or casting as '(unsigned long)theUint32tVar' ?

A have problem do not working .. on this hardware

I think we need a bit more info @Aleksandrs. Can you upload firmware or does even that give you errors?

Yes sorry, this is NodeMcu V3 4M ESP8266, i Flash

Have you set baudrate in the IDE to 115200? You can find that under the radar-button and communications tab.

Hello, many thanks bitrate now is 115200 and all working ...

Hi! Help me please. I have nodemcu v3 board with 1.86 firmware.
This string - var wifi = require("Wifi") works without errors. But this - var fs = require("fs") causing the error: WARNING: Module "fs" not found. What to do?

See this thread. It's not part of the ESP8266 build, but can be added if you can build it yourself.

http://forum.espruino.com/conversations/292368/

Hi All, I have 3 NodeMCU's V3 and flashed like explained above. Mine works in the IDE (Espruino Web IDE) but only if I publish. But as soon as I reset or power the board down. It looses all the code.... and yes I have the setting set to save to flash in the IDE. I tried multiple speeds (9600) included. (Code runs fine until reset or power down). Do I have to flash this with shorting points? What do I do? Thus far I have tried this on 2 of the 3 boards and both do the same thing.
Please can someone help me?

Sounds like you need to use save() to persist your code to flash. It's not the default behaviour, what you load to the board over the IDE exists until powered off or reset.

Thanks Ollie I actually erase_flash again and did a clean install and now it works. But will try the save() method. Thanks again!

My code is :

var ws = require('ws');
var Wifi = require("Wifi");
Wifi.connect("123", {password: "456"}, function (ap) {
    console.log("connected:", ap);
});
Wifi.on('connected', function (details) {
    var x = new Date();
    console.log("Connected......", x.toString());
    Wifi.getAPDetails(function (detail) {
        console.log("AP Details : ", detail);
    });
    Wifi.getAPIP(function (detail) {
        console.log("APIP Details : ", detail);
    });
    Wifi.getDetails(function (detail) {
        console.log("Details : ", detail);
    });
    Wifi.getDHCPHostname(function (detail) {
        console.log("DHCP HostnameDetails : ", detail);
    });
    Wifi.getHostname(function (detail) {
        console.log("Hostname Name : ", detail);
    });
    Wifi.getIP(function (detail) {
        console.log("IP : ", detail);
        //server();
        socketServer();
    });
    Wifi.getStatus(function (detail) {
        console.log("Status : ", detail);
    });
});
/*Wifi.on('probe_recv', function(details) {
 console.log("probe Details : ",details);
 });*/
Wifi.scan(function (detail) {
    console.log("scan Detail : ", detail);
});
Wifi.setHostname("123-esp");
Wifi.on('sta_joined', function (details) {
    console.log("sta_joined : ", details);
});
Wifi.on('sta_left', function (details) {
    console.log("sta_left : ", details);
});
Wifi.startAP('123-esp', {authMode: 'wpa2', password: '456', channel: 13}, function (a, b, c, d) {
    console.log("startAP::", a, b, c, d);
});
/*Wifi.stopAP(function(a,b,c,d){
 console.log("stopAP ::",a,b,c,d);
 });*/
Wifi.save();

Looks like you turned onNPM (Beta) in settings - turn it off and it might work - or at the least it'll produce a lot less warnings

Thanks @Gordon, my issue is solved. i just turn off NPM (Beta) from settings.
