Installation

cargo-espflash

cargo-espflash is a subcommand for Cargo which utilizes the espflash library. This tool integrates with your Cargo projects and handles compilation, flashing, and monitoring for target devices.

Please see the cargo-espflash README for more information.

Example

$ cargo espflash --release --example=blinky /dev/ttyUSB0

espflash

espflash is a standalone binary and library contained within the same crate. This tool does not integrate with Cargo, but supports all of the same features as cargo-espflash which are not related to compilation.

Please see the espflash README for more information.

Example

$ espflash /dev/ttyUSB0 target/xtensa-esp32-none-elf/release/examples/blinky
