- Mon Oct 24, 2022 6:04 pm #95435 I'm on Linux. How do I flash an ssl cert store to my esp8266 using these instructions?. It links to the Arduino IDE documentation which shows putting a data and tools directory into the project. I have the directories created as shown, and the certs.ar file in the data directory, but the IDE isn't listing the tool as an option in the "Tools" menu when I restart it. Any way to flash this by hand?

Directory:

Code: Select all~/Arduino/proj1/

          │   └── certs.ar
          ├── get_moz_root_ca.py
          ├── proj1.ino
          └── tools
              └── ESP8266FS
                  └── tool
                      └── esp8266fs.jar

- Tue Oct 25, 2022 5:48 am #95440 That's the link in my post. That article links to the Arduino documention which is my second link. I think I've followed the steps correctly to get the tool installed but it's not showing up in my IDE like it says it should.

Is there a Linux command line tool that I can flash the esp8266 with instead? I tried running the java class by hand but it complains something is corrupt. I've downloaded it a couple times and it's the same error. Maybe I'm not running it correctly.

Code: Select all$ java -jar esp8266fs.jar
