generic.upload.resetmethod: ck<->nodemcu
Posted: Fri Nov 06, 2015 9:06 pmUsing a NodeMCU there is some problem making downloads using the "Generic ESP8266 MODULE" in the boards manager.
Normaly I would choose the right board (NodeMCU 1.0), but actually testing with OTA, I am forced to take the generic-Board, because of its options "serial<->OTA"
In older packages, I modified the boards.txt. I created a second Generic ESP8266-Module with the change from "generic.upload.resetmethod=ck" to "generic.upload.resetmethod=nodemcu"
But always on changing to a new release, this options get lost. And if I forget to change again, I am struggling on download
This time, I was going a different way: I made the resetmethode switchable. (hope I understood the menu-structure correct)
But on changing the release, this will got lost again.
Wouldn't it be an option to implementate this in the boards.txt for further releases?
