-- First time image boot to discover the confuration -- -- If you want to use absolute address LFS load or SPIFFS imaging, then boot the -- image for the first time bare, that is without either LFS or SPIFFS preloaded -- then enter the following commands interactively through the UART: -- do local _,ma,fa=node.flashindex() for n,v in pairs{LFS_MAPPED=ma, LFS_BASE=fa, SPIFFS_BASE=sa} do print(('export %s=""0x%x"'):format(n, v)) end end -- -- This will print out 3 hex constants: the absolute address used in the -- 'luac.cross -a' options and the flash adresses of the LFS and SPIFFS. -- --[[ So you would need these commands to image your ESP module: USB=/dev/ttyUSB0 # or whatever the device of your USB is NODEMCU=~/nodemcu # The root of your NodeMCU file hierarchy SRC=$NODEMCU/local/lua # your source directory for your LFS Lua files.

Here is an example. It's a good idea either to use a timer -- delay or a GPIO pin during development, so that you as developer can break into -- the boot sequence if there is a problem with the _init bootstrap that is causing -- a panic loop. Here is one example of how you might do this. You have a second -- to inject tmr.stop(0) into UART0. Extend this delay if needed. -- -- This example will also attempt to automatically load the LFS block from a SPIFFS -- file named 'flash.img'. -- if node.flashindex() == nil then node.flashreload('flash.img') end tmr.alarm(0, 1000, tmr.ALARM_SINGLE, function() local fi=node.flashindex; return pcall(fi and fi'_init') end)
