FujiNet CLI Flasher

Summary

Use the included python script in the fujinet-firmware repo to easily flash specific releases and the daily builds without having to install anything but one python module (esptool).

Why would you do this? You want a specific release flashed on your device, or you quickly want to flash without using the Python GUI application, the web flasher, or the tools embedded in the PIO plugins for VSC for instance.

Setup

1. pull the fujinet-firmware repo:
   • $ git pull https://github.com/FujiNetWIFI/fujinet-firmware.git
2. Install ESPtool
   • $ pip install esptool
3. Run the flasher:
   • $ python ./fujinet_firmware_uploader.py

Caution

Did you get an error? sh: 1: esptool.py: not found - you need to install the esptool via pip - see above!

You will be presented with a nice list of the current releases (and dailys) from the official GH repo. Choose one.

Available options:
1) v1.4.0
2) Nightly Builds
3) v1.3.0
4) v1.2.0
5) v1.1.0
6) v1.0.0
7) v0.5.890b4ee
8) Last ESP32-WROOM version
Select an option (number): 1

Then you will be presented with all the platform installs for that release. Choose one.

Available options:
1) fujinet_releases/v1.4.0/fujinet-ADAM-v1.4.0.zip
2) fujinet_releases/v1.4.0/fujinet-APPLE-v1.4.0.zip
3) fujinet_releases/v1.4.0/fujinet-ATARI-8mb-v1.4.0.zip
4) fujinet_releases/v1.4.0/fujinet-ATARI-v1.4.0.zip
5) fujinet_releases/v1.4.0/fujinet-COCO-v1.4.0.zip
6) fujinet_releases/v1.4.0/fujinet-IEC-LOLIN-D32-v1.4.0.zip
Select an option (number): 2

Now the esptool will flash your connected fujinet (it tries to determine the right USB device for OSX and Linux), reset it and the FujiNet should boot. You will automatically get log out. You can stop at any time with CTRL-C.

But verify the first few lines to ensure you are running the right version on the right board.

I verified here that I wanted the 1.4 release for Apple - and that is what I have.

That is all, enjoy the Fujinet and it's new capabilities.
