ESP8266 Community Forum

- Sun Feb 01, 2015 7:40 am #8686 Problem solved. No thanks to ESP or this Forum ! This is to update an ESP8266 -01 from Banggood to SDK version 0.9.4 and AT version V0020.

If using Windows, install 'nodemcu-flasher'.
Use the following two bin files.

ESP8266_update.zip

(137.86 KiB) Downloaded 359 times

Note. These may not be the same files as others posted elsewhere with the same filenames.

The first one loads at 0x00000. The second at 0x40000. You need to add these files in the first two file boxes in the nodemcu-flasher config menu (blue blob) and set the correct load addresses from the drop-down menu. Uncheck any other boxes in the menu. (The default is 4) . Check you have the right COM port. The program gives you the options, no typing needed. (The whole process needs no typing at all !)

Make sure the ESP is in boot mode (GPIO0 = 0) Then go back to the main menu and click on Flash.

This programs the ESP correctly and now I can use the AT V0020 command set and firmware 0.9.4 - at last. All the V0.2 AT commands are fine. I run at 115200B OK.

Out of curiosity, where do you get the bin files from? I looked in the v0.9.4 zip file on the espressif web site and they are not there.

Also, why is this only for the ESP-01 from Banggood? Is the procedure or firmware different for ESP-01 modules bought from other suppliers?

Thank you,

Mike

Out of curiosity, it looks like there is a 0.9.5 AT firmware https://drive.google.com/folderview?id=0B_ctPy0pJuW6UmJCQ1RLb0JKUzg&usp=drive_web&tid=0B3dUKfqzZnlwRjFaNTUzZFptbzg#list

Have you given this a try with your method???

Thanks Again!!!!

These files were produced by one of our design team using the ESP 'toolchain' after we had failed to get the posted ones from the ESP site to work. The toolchain always produces two .bin files with the same name (by default unless you change it.). This has led to a lot of confusion with many different bin files all with the same name all starting with 'eagle'. The two in the ZIP I posted are not anywhere else. They could be put in the Git site I suppose. I suggest you rename them anyway. Probably I should have done this.

As I only have modules from Banggood (ESP8266-01) I have no way of knowing if they work with any others but they should. Anyone is free to test them.

Mike
