- Tue Jun 16, 2015 4:38 pm #20631 Is it possible to include lua (text) files (or even compiled lua files) into a firmware binary? So I can flash several ESP8266 modules without the need to transfer the lua files on to them afterwards.

Yes, f you looks at the SPIFFS drivers in the nodeLUA code this FS is mapped in a fairly simple way onto any available flash. So in principle we could include a base FS in the flashed build.

However, is there any off-the-shelf projects which already do this? I don't know of any. Sorry

were you able to find a way to do so?
