ESP8266 Community Forum

Hello,

I will appreciate if someone can give me a comment that can point in the right direction about this issue,

I have compiled from source last version of arduino esp8266, I have the problem that esptool is called automatically. After installing esptool it issue the compile command but there is an error.
I am not totally sure about the source of problem, I have try to use different version of esptool with same result. The error is similar to http://www.esp8266.com/viewtopic.php?p=16362 but none of the different version of esptool change the error.

I am not positive but I have read somewhere that now it's possible to replace esptool with pyesptool, is that true? in such a case what do you need to change in the configuration .txt files.

Thank you in advance,

Maybe you should post the error ... you can turn on "verbose" on both "compile" and "upload" in the Arduino IDE preferences to get more details.

Hi martinayotte,

I have attached the compiler output.

Please give me your comments

Yes, it is really looking about the same error I've got more than 2 months ago.
Maybe you should try to compile it from https://github.com/igrr/esptool-ck
Or try the one I've compiled at that time, it is here in attachment.
