@ficeto
it's a whole 4K block
use it like the eeprom, just offset
Ivan Grokhotkov
@igrr
so, the bootloader will read the first 128 bytes, store it somewhere, erase, write 128 bytes back, right?
when it needs to clear the command, that is
ficeto
@ficeto
sure
tthough no need to clear, if that command is actually status of a sort
have it a struct with info for what you are flashing
Ivan Grokhotkov
@igrr
well you need to clear if you don't want the bootloader to update again after flashing
actually not
ficeto
@ficeto
on actuall bott that could be read and known if flash went OK or failed or what
Ivan Grokhotkov
@igrr
we can overwrite this with 0xff
ficeto
@ficeto
why clear?
if the ststaus byte is update, write the image from the address bytes to 0x0
then set status updated
Ivan Grokhotkov
@igrr
when we write to flash, we can only write "1" bits
ficeto
@ficeto
yeah...
or erase whole block?
Ivan Grokhotkov
@igrr
so then we can make status_update = 0x11 and status_updated=0xff
so you can always overwrite status without erasing
smth like that
and need to erase only when we store new command there
ficeto
@ficeto
sure
that block will not live more than the rest anyway :)
so erase each time the rest are erased is fine

anyone tried PWM with the new SDK?
Russ Mathis
@RussMathis
what do you need tried?
Ivan Grokhotkov
@igrr
ok, yeah, analogWrite got broken with SDK 1.1.0
goes into WDT reset
ficeto
@ficeto
so i digged into GPIO WAKEUP_ENABLE a bit
and here is what it does:
when pin is set as WAKEUP (PULLUP/PULLDOWN)
at the point of calling pinMode(WAKEUP_PULLUP)
if the pin is HIGH, that will cause WDT reset
and sketch will restart
if HIGH, it will continue
Russ Mathis
@RussMathis
cool!
ficeto
@ficeto
too much HIGH :D one should be LOW
Russ Mathis
@RussMathis
So simply calling pinMode(15,WAKEUP_PULLUP);deepSleep(100000000);
The chip will sleep...
Then by externally pulling 15 HIGH will restart the chip before the expiration time sleep arg?
ficeto
@ficeto
WAKEUP_PULLUP not in code yet
no
did not say that
Russ Mathis
@RussMathis
k...
ficeto
@ficeto
void setup() {
  pinMode(14, WAKEUP_PULLUP);
  Serial.begin(115200);
  Serial.println("Booted!");
}
if pin 14 is LOW at the time pinMode is called
wdt will reset and not continue to say "Booted!"

@igrr
@RussMathis http://arduino.esp8266.com/staging/package_esp8266com_index.json
kind of a latest "staging" version
Russ Mathis
@RussMathis
cool, I'll try it out now...
Russ Mathis
@RussMathis
downloaded and installed via arduino ide 1.6.4 from board manager
from eclipse set Private hardware path to:..packages\esp8266\hardware\esp8266\1.6.4-755-gdb0b8be
and recompiled... Worked for simple sleep test sketch
