EMP-FOR-ESP8266 compatibility solution

EMP FOR ESP8266

中文文档

Due to the lack of memory in ESP8266, it always fails when using upip for installation. To this end, we created the EMP-FOR-ESP8266 compatibility solution.

Quick Start

Install emp-1zlab with emptool

first of all, we need emptool

pip install emptool

then, use it to install the emp-1zlab packages that esp8266 needed:

sudo emptool /dev/ttyUSB0  # change to your serialport

Make sure that no terminal emulators occupy the REPL during this process.

Initialize your ESP8266

Enter to the REPL of your ESP8266:

>>> from emp_boot import set_boot_mode
>>> set_boot_mode()
[0]     Boot with nothing
        attention: this option will clear up boot.py, careful!
[1]     Boot with wifi startup
        this mode will auto start wifi connect program.
[2]     Easy to develop
        this mode is for developers.In this mode you can develop much easier via EMP-IDE(emp.1zlab.com)
Please input your choice [0-2]: 

Enter 2, then your board will be reboot. Don't walk away. After rebooting, please follow the prompts to select the WiFi you need to access and enter your password to link to the network.
