@igrr
that's using nodemcu on OS X as well
kathir1951
@kathir1951
@igrr yes possible then i have to change libhttpd.a can you give the location reserved for SPIFS
onkelfunny
@onkelfunny
yes every time. i also tried the manual boot loader mode
Ivan Grokhotkov
@igrr
@kathir1951 depends on the flash size you choose in Arduino Tools menu.
see linker scripts here: https://github.com/esp8266/Arduino/tree/master/tools/sdk/ld

@igrr some clues for reserved location
Ivan Grokhotkov
@igrr
for 4 Mbyte flash you dive into https://github.com/esp8266/Arduino/blob/master/tools/sdk/ld/eagle.flash.4m.ld and see 
PROVIDE ( _SPIFFS_start = 0x40300000 );
PROVIDE ( _SPIFFS_end = 0x405FB000 );
for 512k (64 k SPIFFS) option you open https://github.com/esp8266/Arduino/blob/master/tools/sdk/ld/eagle.flash.512k64.ld and see 
PROVIDE ( _SPIFFS_start = 0x4026B000 );
PROVIDE ( _SPIFFS_end = 0x4027B000 );
flash is memory mapped at 0x40200000, so to get flash offset you need to subtract that number
i.e. 0x6b000 — 0x7b000 for 512k option and 0x100000 — 0x3fb000 for 4m option
@onkelfunny let's try increasing flash erase timeout
could you build esptool from source or is it too much to ask?
if not, i'll build it for you and send you a binary :)

@kathir1951
@igrr Thanks
onkelfunny
@onkelfunny
@igrr i set the spiffs to 1M and the upload works
Ivan Grokhotkov
@igrr
yes then it's related to flash erase time for sure.
onkelfunny
@onkelfunny
ok
i try to compile it
Ivan Grokhotkov
@igrr
https://github.com/igrr/esptool-ck/blob/master/espcomm/espcomm.c#L332
currently it's hard-coded at 10 seconds
try increasing this to 15 seconds perhaps?
onkelfunny
@onkelfunny
ok, will do

@Links2004
@igrr thanks for adding :)
Ivan Grokhotkov
@igrr
@Links2004 you're welcome
I figured out I'm not always around to merge and fix things, so it would be nice if someone else had access to the repository as well.

@igrr I am using 512k chip can you suggest how to modify linker script for 2 bin files one at location 0x0000 and 0x40000 since web pages.espfs occupies more I though of using free location between 0x12000 - 0x2e000
onkelfunny
@onkelfunny
@igrr
int timeout_ms = 15000;
works fine. thanks!!
kathir1951
@kathir1951
@igrr Nice to hear
@igrr Just as a learner I need your help
Ivan Grokhotkov
@igrr
which segments do you want at 0x00000 and at 0x40000?
currently the segments are mapped as follows (platform.txt, line 78):
-eo "{runtime.platform.path}/bootloaders/eboot/eboot.elf" -bo "{build.path}/{build.project_name}.bin" -bm {build.flash_mode} -bf {build.flash_freq} -bz {build.flash_size} -bs .text -bp 4096 -ec -eo "{build.path}/{build.project_name}.elf" -bs .irom0.text -bs .text -bs .data -bs .rodata -bc -ec
so we have .text segment of bootloader, padded to 4096 bytes, and then .irom0.text, .text, .data, .rodata segments of the application
So you can try moving .irom0.text out of this binary
Ivan Grokhotkov
@igrr
i.e.
-eo "{build.path}/{build.project_name}.elf" -bo "{build.path}/{build.project_name}_00000.bin" -bm {build.flash_mode} -bf {build.flash_freq} -bz {build.flash_size} -bs .text -bs .data -bs .rodata -bc -ec -eo "{build.path}/{build.project_name}.elf" -es .irom0.text "{build.path}/{build.project_name}_10000.bin" -ec

@kathir1951
@igrr I want code/data( RAM? ) at 0x00000 and core/data(rom?) at 0x40000
Ivan Grokhotkov
@igrr
remember to fix .irom0.text segment location in the linker script. by default it starts at 0x40201010, so you have to change that to 0x40210000 and adjust the length appropriately
just remember that this change will break OTA, because OTA implementation expects a single binary

@onkelfunny
@igrr is the spiffs function not recursive ?
./index.html
./js
./js/jquery.js
./ms
./ms/de_ch.json
./ms/de_de.json
only the index.html is uploaded
Ivan Grokhotkov
@igrr
recursion was added in mkspiffs 1.2, and the latest boards manager package is still on 1.1
so if you are using boards manager package, it's not yet supported
onkelfunny
@onkelfunny
ok. i can just replace the mkspiffs... correct?
Ivan Grokhotkov
@igrr
as a workaround, you may try using git version. it got much simpler now: https://github.com/esp8266/Arduino#using-git-version-
replacing mkspiffs is not okay, because mkspiffs 1.1 used spiffs 0.3.2, while mkspiffs 1.2 uses spiffs 0.3.3
so you need a corresponding update of spiffs library in the core itself
that's why i suggest trying git version as described in the link above
this will bring you latest mkspiffs and the core itself
just be sure to remove boards manager package first, or it will override whatever happens to be in hardware directory
onkelfunny
@onkelfunny
i created a symlink to the current version... now it works for me. thanks!
kathir1951
@kathir1951
@igrr Oh just trying I have to modify platform text line78 acordingly
