ESP8266 Community Forum

- Sun Jun 07, 2015 8:13 am #19742 I seem to have serious problems connecting to my SSID using Frankenstein. On a second device I don't get connected at all. If I reflash the latest AT frimware (0.9.5 ?) I can connect without problems. That seems to indicate that it is neither a hw problem of the ESP8266 nor a problem with my network. I tried both, static and dhcp connections.

BTW, ifconfig reports state : <null>. That looks strange to me. shouldn't that be "idle"?

Code: Select allsta0: WiFi Client Interface
     state   : <null>
     rssi    : 0
     channel : 0
     inet addr:0.0.0.0 Mask:0.0.0.0 Gateway:0.0.0.0

@Necromant - it will be possible to compile Frankenstein firm on windows? (for eg on "My Espressif DevKit for Windows")

Frankenstein is based on antares buildsystem, that's been only well tested in a Linux/FreeBSD environment. MAC OS X support is there as well, it works, but it lacks regular regression testing. Regarding windows - nobody ever tried that. It MIGHT work under cygwin, but I can't even guess what bugs might arise.
Without cygwin it's most likely a no-go, since windows lacks even the simplest command line tools... If you actually make antares work in windows environment without breaking linux/os x support - beer/coffee's on me

I made some progress to use antares in a cygwin environment. Unfortunately I have to use a mixture of MinGW and Cygwin. And unfortunately MinGW does not understand Cygwin's symlinks. I have to manually copy generated/autoconf.h to include/generated/autoconf.h.

The final link step still fails.

- Mon Jun 08, 2015 3:49 pm #19868 OK, here is a patch to suppress the usage of microrl. I don't see a means to upload files in this forum. That's why I include the patch directly.

best regards
