ESP-Flasher

ESP-Flasher is a utility app for ESP8266 / ESP32 and is designed to make flashing Tasmota on ESPs as simple as possible by:

• Having pre-built binaries for most operating systems.
• Hiding all non-essential options for flashing. All necessary options for flashing (bootloader, flash mode) are automatically extracted from the binary.

The flashing process is done using the esptool library by espressif.

Installation

• Check the releases section for downloads for your platform. Just double-click it and it'll start.

• If you have Python installed you can install from PyPI: pip install esp-flasher. Start the GUI by esp_flasher. Alternatively, you can use the command line interface ( type esp_flasher -h for info)

Build it yourself

If you want to build this application yourself you need to:

• Install Python 3.x
• Install wxPython 4.x manually or run pip3 install wxpython
• Download this project and run pip3 install -e . in the project's root.
• Start the GUI using esp_flasher. Alternatively, you can use the command line interface ( type esp_flasher -h for info)

Linux Notes

Installing wxpython for linux can be a bit challenging (especially when you don't want to install from source). You can use the following command to install a wxpython suitable with your OS:

# Go to https://extras.wxpython.org/wxPython4/extras/linux/gtk3/ and select the correct OS type
# here, we assume ubuntu 20.04
         sudo apt-get update
         sudo apt install libgtk-3-dev libnotify-dev libsdl2-dev
         pip3 install -U \
          -f https://extras.wxpython.org/wxPython4/extras/linux/gtk3/ubuntu-20.04 \
          wxPython
