Re: Chip details are visible when chip is getting connected to Wi-FI

If I am not mistaken, the Access Point is using the MAC address of the ESP32 in order to identify it. MAC addresses are assigned as blocks to manufacturers and then the list of blocks are available publicly. https://gist.github.com/aallan/b4bb86db86079509e6159810ae9bd3e4 You can reprogram the ESP32 ...

How do I program a version number into my firmware?

I want this to show up in the startup log, after the partition table info or thereabouts.
I’m using PlatformIO and I don’t see how I can do this. Anyone know how?

(I know how to put a version number in my own code and print it. That will show up much later that the startup log.)

Re: Downloading Firmware Question

I got over this issue but I can't really tell why it wasn't originally working. In PlatformIO I had a setting of `board_build.partitions = min_spiffs.csv` That would then use these files and offsets for the download to the board: 0x0000 bootloader_qio_80m.bin 0x8000 partitions.bin 0xe000 boot_app0.b...

You could also try `idf.py partition_table` (I think that's the right command... It's in the documentation).
I don't seem to have idf.py installed in the right place:
kinitest % idf.py partition_table
zsh: command not found: idf.py

Re: Downloading Firmware Question

Ok, I made huge jump in knowledge, but I got stuck again. I never could get my custom board to output the startup log. I suspect that the configuration of the pins might be suppressing the logging. This could be problem later when I want more of the info, but I'll wait to figure that out later. I re...

Re: Downloading Firmware Question

While I've seen a log when dev kits I have used boot up, but my custom board doesn't seem to have that. I don't know if it is disabled or whether because we use the JTAG USB it's not supported?

Let me look at the settings.

Re: Downloading Firmware Question

I'm sorry to say, I'm still having trouble with this. First of all, when they plug my board in (and I only have a video to go by), there is no indication in the "ESP Download Tool" that it is plugged in. The COM port electro shows COM7. I can't tell if that is my board or something else they also ha...

Re: What's the best way to differentiate between two custom ESP32 boards?

You already do. Presumably you have a pull up or pull down on the base of the transistor. You could then just read the pin state of that GPIO pin to the transistor, and it will be high or low.
Great idea. Will try it.

Re: Downloading Firmware Question

That is exactly where I am at. I've ordered the first 3000 units. They have made 5 and are waiting to test before doing more. I am sending them these files from my build folder: - firmware.bin - firmware.elf - firmware.map - partitions.bin I'm not sure what else I need. The base address should be th...
