|
||||
- Build-in json, file, timer, pwm, i2c, spi, 1-wire, net, mqtt, coap, gpio, wifi, adc, uart and system api.
|
||||
- GPIO pin re-mapped, use the index to access gpio, i2c, pwm.
|
||||

#Online firmware custom build
|

|

For many application, some modules are not used, remove them can free many memory.<br />
|
||||
|
||||
Please try Marcel's [NodeMCU custom builds](http://frightanic.com/nodemcu-custom-build) cloud service and you can get your own firmware.<br />
|
||||
|
||||
#Flash the firmware
|
||||
nodemcu_latest.bin: 0x00000<br />
|
||||
for most esp8266 modules, just pull GPIO0 down and restart.<br />
|
||||
You can use the [nodemcu-flasher](https://github.com/nodemcu/nodemcu-flasher) to burn the firmware.
|
||||
|
||||
Or, if you build your own bin from source code.<br />
|
||||
0x00000.bin: 0x00000<br />
|
||||
0x10000.bin: 0x10000<br />

# Building the firmware
|
||||
|
||||
There are several options for building the NodeMCU firmware.
|
||||
|
||||
## Online firmware custom build
|
||||
|
||||
Please try Marcel's [NodeMCU custom builds](http://frightanic.com/nodemcu-custom-build) cloud service and you can choose only the modules you need, and download the firmware once built.
|
||||
|
||||
NodeMCU custom builds can build from the master branch (0.9.6; deprecated) and dev
|
||||
branch (1.4.0).
|
||||
|
||||
## Docker containerised build
|
||||
|
||||
See https://hub.docker.com/r/asmaps/nodemcu-builder/
|
||||
|
||||
This docker image includes the build toolchain and SDK. You just run the docker
|
||||
image with your checked-out NodeMCU firmware repository (this one). The docker
|
||||
image can also flash the firmware to your device.
|
||||
|
||||
You will need to see BUILD OPTIONS below, to configure the firmware before building.
|
||||
|
||||
## Build it yourself
|
||||
|
||||
See BUILD OPTIONS below, to configure the firmware before building.
|
||||
|
||||
### Minimum requirements:
|
||||
|
||||
- unrar
|
||||
- GNU autoconf, automake, libtool
|
||||
- GNU gcc, g++, make
|
||||
- GNU flex, bison, gawk, sed
|
||||
- python, python-serial, libexpat-dev
|
||||
- srecord
|
||||
- The esp-open-sdk from https://github.com/pfalcon/esp-open-sdk
|
||||
|
||||
### Build instructions:
|
||||
|
||||
Assuming NodeMCU firmware is checked-out to `/opt/nodemcu-firmware`:
|
||||
|
||||
```sh
|
||||
git clone --recursive https://github.com/pfalcon/esp-open-sdk.git /opt/esp-open-sdk
|
||||
cd /opt/esp-open-sdk
|
||||
make STANDALONE=y
|
||||
PATH=/opt/esp-open-sdk/xtensa-lx106-elf/bin:$PATH
|
||||
cd /opt/nodemcu-firmware
|
||||
make
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
# BUILD OPTIONS
|
||||
|
||||
Disable modules you won't be using, to reduce firmware size on flash and
|
||||
free more RAM. The ESP8266 is quite limited in available RAM, and running
|
||||
out can cause a system panic.
|
||||
|
||||
## Edit `app/include/user_modules.h`
|
||||
|
||||
Comment-out the #define statement for unused modules. Example:
|
||||
|
||||
```c
|
||||
#ifdef LUA_USE_MODULES
|
||||
#define LUA_USE_MODULES_NODE
|
||||
#define LUA_USE_MODULES_FILE
|
||||
#define LUA_USE_MODULES_GPIO
|
||||
#define LUA_USE_MODULES_WIFI
|
||||
#define LUA_USE_MODULES_NET
|
||||
#define LUA_USE_MODULES_PWM
|
||||
#define LUA_USE_MODULES_I2C
|
||||
#define LUA_USE_MODULES_SPI
|
||||
#define LUA_USE_MODULES_TMR
|
||||
#define LUA_USE_MODULES_ADC
|
||||
#define LUA_USE_MODULES_UART
|
||||
#define LUA_USE_MODULES_OW
|
||||
#define LUA_USE_MODULES_BIT
|
||||
#define LUA_USE_MODULES_MQTT
|
||||
// #define LUA_USE_MODULES_COAP
|
||||
// #define LUA_USE_MODULES_U8G
|
||||
// #define LUA_USE_MODULES_WS2801
|
||||
// #define LUA_USE_MODULES_WS2812
|
||||
// #define LUA_USE_MODULES_CJSON
|
||||
#define LUA_USE_MODULES_CRYPTO
|
||||
#define LUA_USE_MODULES_RC
|
||||
#define LUA_USE_MODULES_DHT
|
||||
#define LUA_USE_MODULES_RTCMEM
|
||||
#define LUA_USE_MODULES_RTCTIME
|
||||
#define LUA_USE_MODULES_RTCFIFO
|
||||
#define LUA_USE_MODULES_SNTP
|
||||
// #define LUA_USE_MODULES_BMP085
|
||||
#define LUA_USE_MODULES_TSL2561
|
||||
// #define LUA_USE_MODULES_HX711
|
||||
|
||||
#endif /* LUA_USE_MODULES */
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
## Tagging your build
|
||||
|
||||
Identify your firmware builds by editing `app/include/user_version.h`
|
||||
|
||||
```c
|
||||
#define NODE_VERSION "NodeMCU 1.4.0+myname"
|
||||
#ifndef BUILD_DATE
|
||||
#define BUILD_DATE "YYYYMMDD"
|
||||
#endif
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
## Setting the boot time serial interface rate
|
||||
|
||||
The initial baud rate at boot time is 9600 bps, but you can change this by
|
||||
editing `app/include/user_config.h` and change BIT_RATE_DEFAULT, e.g.:
|
||||
|
||||
```c
|
||||
#define BIT_RATE_DEFAULT BIT_RATE_115200
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
# Flash the firmware
|
||||
|
||||
## Flash tools for Windows
|
||||
|
||||
You can use the [nodemcu-flasher](https://github.com/nodemcu/nodemcu-flasher) to burn the firmware.
|
||||
|
||||
## Flash tools for Linux
|
||||
|
||||
Esptool is a python utility which can read and write the flash in an ESP8266 device. See https://github.com/themadinventor/esptool
|
||||
|
||||
## Preparing the hardware for firmware upgrade
|
||||
|
||||
To enable ESP8266 firmware flashing, the GPIO0 pin must be pulled low before
|
||||
the device is reset. Conversely, for a normal boot, GPIO0 must be pulled high
|
||||
or floating.
|
||||
|
||||
If you have a [NodeMCU Development Kit](http://www.nodemcu.com/index_en.html) then
|
||||
you don't need to do anything, as the USB connection can pull GPIO0
|
||||
low by asserting DTR, and reset your board by asserting RTS.
|
||||
|
||||
If you have an ESP-01 or other device without inbuilt USB, you will need to
|
||||
enable flashing yourself by pulling GPIO0 low or pressing a "flash" switch.
|
||||
|
||||
## Files to burn to the flash
|
||||
|
||||
If you got your firmware from [NodeMCU custom builds](http://frightanic.com/nodemcu-custom-build) then you can flash that file directly to address 0x00000.
|
||||
|
||||
Otherwise, if you built your own firmware from source code:
|
||||
- bin/0x00000.bin to 0x00000
|
||||
- bin/0x10000.bin to 0x10000
|
||||
|
||||
Also, in some special circumstances, you may need to flash `blank.bin` or `esp_init_data_default.bin` to various addresses on the flash (depending on flash size and type).
|
||||
|
||||
If upgrading from `spiffs` version 0.3.2 to 0.3.3 or later, or after flashing any new firmware, you should run `file.format()` to re-format your flash filesystem.
|
||||
|
||||
# Connecting to your NodeMCU device
|
||||
|
||||
NodeMCU serial interface uses 9600 baud at boot time. To increase the speed after booting, issue `uart.setup(0,115200,8,0,1,1)` (ESPlorer will do this automatically when changing the speed in the dropdown list).
|
||||
|
||||
If the device panics and resets at any time, errors will be written to the serial interface at 115200 bps.
|
||||
|
||||

||||
|
||||
## Esplorer
|
||||
|
||||
Victor Brutskiy's [ESPlorer](https://github.com/4refr0nt/ESPlorer) is written in Java, is open source and runs on most platforms such as Linux, Windows, Mac OS, etc.
|
||||
|
||||
#### Features
|
||||
|
||||
- Edit Lua scripts and run on the ESP8266 and save to its flash
|
||||
- Serial console log
|
||||
- Also supports original AT firmware (reading and setting WiFi modes, etc)
|
||||
|
||||
## NodeMCU Studio
|
||||
|
||||
[NodeMCU Studio](https://github.com/nodemcu/nodemcu-studio-csharp) is written in C# and supports Windows. This software is open source and can write lua files to filesystem.
|
||||
|
||||
# OPTIONAL MODULES
|
||||
|
||||
####Use DS18B20 module extends your esp8266
